Abstract excerpt
To investigate the relationship between normal B-cells, B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) cells and hairy cell leukaemia (HCL) cells the three cell types were incubated with phorbol myristic acetate (PMA). The parameters studied were morphology, immunophenotype and tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP). PMA stimulation of B-cells induced morphological changes as well as CD5, CD11c, B-ly 7 and TRAP...
