B lymphocyte subpopulations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
We have defined two subpopulations of B lymphocytes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The major variant (termed typical) was characterized by the presence of a relatively homogeneous population of small-to-medium-sized lymphocytes with low-density SmIgM and no evidence of intracellular Ig synthesis. A minor group (termed atypical) was identified by the presence of a pleomorphic cell popula...
متن کاملStaphylococcus lugdunensis; a pathogen that should be considered in Iran
Background: Staphylococcus lugdunensis is Gram-positive cocci of the staphylococcaceae family. S. lugdunensis despite having a clotting factor (wall coagulase), was classified in the coagulase negative staphylococcus group (CoNS) for lack of free coagulase. Although this bacterium is part of the human normal flora, in terms of virulence, S. lugdunensis is in second place after S. aureus. S. lug...
متن کاملB-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Purpose: To review the recent major advances in the molecular and cell biology of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Methods: Weanalyzed thenatureofmalignantB-CLLB cells and their interactions with the microenvironment. Results: B-CLL is a malignancy of a mantle zonebased subpopulation of anergic, self-reactive, activated CD51 B cells devoted to the production of polyreactive natural ...
متن کاملAnalysis of HLA-G Gene Expression in B-Lymphocytes from Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients
The human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) molecule exhibits limited tissue distribution, low polymorphism and alternative splicings that generate seven HLA-G isoforms. HLA-G exerts multiple immunoregulatory functions. Recent studies indicate an ectopic up-regulation in tumor cells that may favor their escape from anti-tumor immune responses. This study it is an effort to clarify the presence of HLA...
متن کاملAberrant expression of B-lymphocyte stimulator by B chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells: a mechanism for survival.
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is defined by the accumulation of CD5(+) B cells in the periphery and bone marrow. This disease is not characterized by highly proliferative cells but rather by the presence of leukemic cells with significant resistance to apoptosis and, therefore, prolonged survival. B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) is a newly identified tumor necrosis factor (TNF) fam...
