[Immunologic phenotype of lymphocytes in chronic B-cell lymphocytic leukemia. I. B- and T-lymphocytes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia].

This article contains the review and the critical discussion of studies of T and B lymphocytes in chronic B-cell lymphocytic leukaemia. It is not explicitly known now, which stage of differentiation of lympho-haemopoietic cells undergoes malignant transformation in CLL-B. Basing on VDJ recombination activity it is supposed that some cases derive from the stem cell, others--from B lineage cells.
