CD38 expression labels an activated subset within chronic lymphocytic leukemia clones enriched in proliferating B cells
8 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells are thought to have diminished cell-cycling capacity, a view challenged by their phenotypic resemblance to activated human B lymphocytes. The present study addresses the cell-cycling status of CLL cells, focusing on those leukemic cells expressing CD38, a molecule involved in signaling and activation that also serves as a prognostic marker in this disease. CD38(+) and...
