Abstract excerpt
We used a PCR and sequence procedure to analyze the Ig V(H) gene and the mutations in the 5' regulatory regions of BCL-6 genes in pulmonary lymphoproliferative disorders (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, HIV-related, EBV-related, and virus-negative lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP)). Eight of 20 (40%) pulmonary MALT lymphoma and 10 of 20 LIP (5 of 5 (100%) HIV-related, 2 of 5 (40%)...
