Abstract excerpt
The usefulness of low-molecular-weight B-cell growth factor (LMW-BCGF) for routine cytogenetic study of B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) was evaluated. Eighteen B cell lymphoma specimens were cultured for 4 days in the presence or absence of LMW-BCGF. After culture, conventional cytogenetic analysis was carried out, and the Morphology Antibody Chromosomes (MAC) method was used to study the frequencies of...
