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), dive...
