Abstract excerpt
Leukemic B cells in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) typically exhibit low or undetectable surface Ig. Because the B29 (CD79b and Ig beta) and mb-1 (CD79a and Ig alpha) gene products are required for surface Ig display in the B-cell receptor complex (BCR), we analyzed the expression of these...
