Abstract excerpt
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an IgM-expressing B cell lymphoma that originates from naive B cells and responds poorly to chemotherapy. We show here that several MCLs harbour isotype-switched subclones. Similar to the situation in normal B cells, in vitro stimulation of MCL cell lines with CD40 ligand (CD40L) and interleukin-4 induced expression of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) and germline...
