Seminested polymerase chain reaction and heteroduplex analysis detects the monoclonality of IgH rearrangement in follicular lymphoma patients with high sensitivity.

چکیده
A new method, combining seminested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with heteroduplex analysis, was utilized to detect follicular lymphoma (FL) cells in peripheral blood. The method, based on the detection of IgH rearrangements in DNA, detected the presence of monoclonal B cells in FL patients with a high frequency.

Diagnosis of thyroid malignant lymphoma by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction detecting the monoclonality of immunoglobulin heavy chain messenger ribonucleic acid.
Distinguishing between thyroid malignant lymphoma and lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) is quite difficult and problematic. Molecular techniques to detect clonal lymphoid proliferation based on Ig heavy chain (IgH) gene rearrangement may be used to facilitate more accurate diagnosis of malignant lymphoma. We recently established a method for diagnosing thyroid tumors by analyzin...
متن کاملDetection of monoclonal immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement (FR3) in Thai malignant lymphoma by High Resolution Melting curve analysis
UNLABELLED Malignant lymphoma, especially non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is one of the most common hematologic malignancies in Thailand. The diagnosis of malignant lymphoma is often problematic, especially in early stages of the disease. Detection of antigen receptor gene rearrangement including T cell receptor (TCR) and immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) by polymerase chain reaction followed by heterodup...
متن کاملImprovements to B cell clonality analysis using PCR amplification of immunoglobulin light chain genes.
AIMS Clonality analysis using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene is an important aid to the diagnosis of B cell lymphoproliferative diseases. However, the method has a relatively high false negative rate. In an attempt to improve detection rates simple PCR strategies for clonality analysis of B cell populations using amplification of Ig li...
متن کاملPrimary follicular lymphoma of the testis in childhood.
BACKGROUND Follicular lymphoma in childhood is rare. The authors present four unusual primary follicular lymphomas of the testis in children. METHODS Tumor tissue was evaluated using light microscopy, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) and bcl-2 gene rearrangements. Southern blot and immunohistochemical analyses were ...
متن کاملBIOMED-2 PCR assays for IGK gene rearrangements are essential for B-cell clonality analysis in follicular lymphoma.
B-cell clonality analysis is commonly performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the IGH genes although a high false-negative rate is recognized for germinal centre/post-germinal centre B-cell malignancies, especially follicular lymphoma. We assessed the diagnostic value of BIOMED-2 IGK assays and investigated the cause of IGH PCR failure in 77 patients with follicular lymphoma. Usi...
