Abstract excerpt
The introduction of the BIOMED-2 primers allowed for reliable comparisons of clonality testing data of malignant lymphomas from different laboratories. This study undertook a retrospective analysis of a large cohort of cases; 1862 cases involved the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IGH VH-JH), and 1527 cases involved the T cell receptor gamma locus (TCRG). We confirmed previously published clonality rates in...
