Early B-Cell Differentiation in Merkel Cell Carcinomas: Clues to Cellular Ancestry
11 Apr 2013
Abstract excerpt
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly malignant neuroendocrine nonmelanoma skin cancer, which is associated with the Merkel cell polyoma virus (MCPyV). Recently, expression of the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and the paired box gene 5 (PAX 5) has been consistently reported in the majority of MCCs.
