Abstract:In the present study, we describe the clinico-biological features of 63 cases of variant B-CLL (v-B-CLL) defined according to a previously described diagnostic algorithm for CD5+ mature B-cell leukemias, based on the combined use of Cytofluorimetric (CFM) analysis and t(11;14)(q13;q32) detection by means of fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH). These leukemias were characterized by SIgbright/CD23+ or CD23+/− , CD79b/CD20 bright, and negativity for t(11;14)(q13;q32). A historical series of 112 classical B-… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
