Abstract excerpt
A new Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformed cell line was established from a patient with B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). The karyotype of the cell line has remained normal for over 12 months in culture; however, identical heavy and light chain immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangements in the patient's blood and the cell line provided evidence that the EBV transformed cells were derived from the neoplastic...
