Abstract excerpt
To investigate the sensitivity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based detection of B-cell monoclonality and the effects of several variables, we analyzed 119 cases of B-cell lymphomas with proven IgH gene rearrangements, testing fresh-frozen and formalin-fixed materials in parallel. Using fresh-frozen tissue, 83 cases (70%) were positive with one-step PCR and high-stringency annealing. Two groups of...
