Abstract excerpt
The normal counterpart of the neoplastic B cells occurring in Burkitt's lymphomas (BL) is an issue of controversial debate. To clarify this matter, a semi-nested primer polymerase chain reaction was performed to amplify the VDJ rearrangements of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (VH) gene of DNA ext...
