Autoantigen can promote progression to a more aggressive TCL1 leukemia by selecting variants with enhanced B-cell receptor signaling
2 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
(Auto)antigen engagement by the B-cell receptor (BCR) and possibly the sites where this occurs influence the outcome of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). To test if selection for autoreactivity leads to increased aggressiveness and if this selection plays out equally in primary and secondary tissues, we used T-cell leukemia (TCL)1 cells reactive with the autoantigen phosphatidylcholine (PtC). After repeated...
