Increasing evidence supports the prognostic relevance of specific immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (IGHV) genes or stereotyped B-cell receptors (BCR) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The clonotypic BCRs differ in their specificity and affinity toward classical antigens and/or superantigens. The BCR-triggered mechanisms are distinct but could explain in part the different clinical behavior among CLL subgroups.
越来越多的证据支持特定免疫球蛋白重链可变(IGHV)基因或定型 B 细胞受体(BCR)在慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)中的预后相关性。克隆型 BCR 在其对经典抗原和/或超抗原的特异性和亲和力方面存在差异。BCR 触发的机制是不同的,但可以部分解释 CLL 亚组之间不同的临床行为。
