Abstract excerpt
Tumor cell lines from six typical cases of endemic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome-positive Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) have been investigated for usage and mutational pattern of Ig VH genes. The neoplastic cells all had a t(8;14) (q24;q32) translocation involving the c-myc protooncogene. The VH genes were derived from VH1, VH3 and VH4, and both the IgM-positive (four cases) and IgG-positive (two cases) were...
