A 65-year-old male was admitted to our hospital due to recurred malignant lymphoma of left tonsil origin. Studies using flow cytometry on mononuclear cells in peripheral blood revealed the appearance of intermediate B cells, and examinations on gastrointestinal tract showed diffuse infiltration of medium-sized lymphoid cells into stomach and colon, that had the same phenotype as tumor cells in peripheral blood. They suggested leukemic change and gastrointestinal tract infiltration of malignant lymphoma. Southern blot analysis revealed T-cell receptor beta-chain gene rearrangement as well as immunoglobulin gene rearrangement. Analysis by histo in situ hybridization on infiltrated gastric mucosa specimen showed diffuse expression of immunoglobulin mRNA in tumor cells, but no message of T-cell receptor beta-chain gene. Northern blot analysis showed the same result. It suggests that in this case, the rearrangement of T-cell receptor beta-chain gene is ineffective rearrangement without transcription to mRNA.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D005803 Genes, Immunoglobulin Genes encoding the different subunits of the IMMUNOGLOBULINS, for example the IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN GENES and the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAIN GENES. The heavy and light immunoglobulin genes are present as gene segments in the germline cells. The completed genes are created when the segments are shuffled and assembled (B-LYMPHOCYTE GENE REARRANGEMENT) during B-LYMPHOCYTE maturation. The gene segments of the human light and heavy chain germline genes are symbolized V (variable), J (joining) and C (constant). The heavy chain germline genes have an additional segment D (diversity).

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
