Abstract excerpt
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) represents the clonal outgrowth of transformed hematopoietic progenitor cells. We have found that blast cells in some cases of B-precursor cell ALL contain Ig heavy chain gene rearrangements with considerable diversity at the junctions of the variable (VH), diversity (D), and joining (JH) regions. This diversity consists of heterogeneous nucleotide sequences at the VH-D and,...
