Abstract excerpt
Tumor cell lines and one tumor biopsy from seven cases of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome-negative sporadic Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) have been investigated for usage and mutational pattern of Ig variable region genes. The VH genes were derived from the VH 3 (one) and VH4 (six) families and both the IgM-positive (six) and the IgA-positive (one) were all mutated from their germline counterparts. The VL genes were...
