Abstract excerpt
On the basis of somatic hypermutation status of their B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) genes, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients can be divided into unmutated CLL (U-CLL) or mutated CLL (M-CLL). Approximately 30% of CLL patients express a stereotypic BCR, which may indicate that specific antigenic stimulation is driving CLL pathogenesis. Recently, it was reported that BCRs from CLL cells are capable of...
