Higher-order immunoglobulin repertoire restrictions in CLL: the illustrative case of stereotyped subsets 2 and 169
9 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) major stereotyped subset 2 (IGHV3-21/IGLV3-21, ∼2.5% of all cases of CLL) is an aggressive disease variant, irrespective of the somatic hypermutation (SHM) status of the clonotypic IGHV gene. Minor stereotyped subset 169 (IGHV3-48/IGLV3-21, ∼0.2% of all cases of CLL) is related to subset 2, as it displays a highly similar variable antigen-binding site. We further explored this...
