Infectious stimuli promote malignant B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the absence of AID
5 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
The prerequisite to prevent childhood B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is to decipher its etiology. The current model suggests that infection triggers B-ALL development through induction of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID; also known as AICDA) in precursor B-cells.
