Chromosome analyses of lymphoid cell lines derived from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. 1980

To study chromosome complements of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells, six Epstein-Barr virus-transformed lymphoid lines were established from two patients with this disease who were heterozygous for the X-chromosome-linked enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). Immunoglobulin and G6PD were used as markers of the leukemic versus normal cell origin of the cell lines. The two lines, derived from putative normal cells, had no chromosomal changes. In contrast, chomosome abnormalities were found in each of the four cell lines of presumed leukemic cell origin. Although the chromosome aberrations are not as specific as the Philadelphia chromosome, there appears to be non-random involvement in chronic lymphocytic leukemia of some chromosomes, such as the No. 12.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue.
