Altered expression of Pax-5 gene in human myeloma cells
15 May 1996
Abstract excerpt
Recent phenotypic analysis of plasma cells showed that normal plasma cells do express the B-cell lineage-specific molecule CD19, but their malignant counterpart (myeloma cells) are CD19-. To clarify the meaning of loss of CD19 antigen on myeloma cells, we first compared the expression of CD19 and Pax-5 genes among B cells, normal plasma cells, myeloma cell lines, and primary myeloma cells, because the Pax-5 gene...
