T cell repertoire in patients with B chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Evidence for multiple in vivo T cell clonal expansions.
1 Nov 1994
Abstract excerpt
To characterize circulating T cell subpopulations in B chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients, TCR V alpha and V beta gene-segment use was analyzed by PCR using a panel of V gene-segment subfamily-specific oligonucleotide primers (V alpha 1-29/V beta 1-24). Virtually all V alpha and V beta subfamily specificities were expressed in these patients (nine stage A and four stage C), and the mean values obtained for...
