Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of more than two rearranged bands of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) genes in B precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has recently been documented. To elucidate the nature of such leukemias, we studied 30 patients with common ALL, including 6 patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-positive ALL, by immunophenotyping and genotyping. In 10 of the 30, Southern blotting showed oligoclonal...
