Over 20% of Patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Carry Stereotyped Receptors: Pathogenetic Implications and Clinical Correlations.
2006-11-16
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) immunoglobulin repertoire is biased. Furthermore, subsets of closely homologous (“stereotyped”) complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) sequences were recently described in CLL patients. In the present study, we evaluated the frequency and characteristics of these homologous subsets in a cohort of 916 CLL patients. We report that 201 cases (21.9%) expressed IGHV gene...
