Abstract excerpt
The cell surface expression of multiple immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) isotypes, preferentially observed in hairy cell leukemia (HCL), is incompatible with the deletion model of IGH class switching, and alternative models involving RNA-splicing have been proposed. To help discriminate between these possibilities we have examined the configuration of the IGH locus by DNA blot in 38 cases of HCL. Deletion of at...
