The types of surface immunoglobulins on Burkitt lymphoma (BL) cells correlate with the specific chromosomes that are altered in the tumor. For example, BL with a t(2;8) translocation expresses kappa (kappa) light chains, whereas BL with a t(8;22) translocation expresses lambda (lambda) light immunoglobulin chains; these correspond with the locations of the kappa chain genes on chromosome #2 and the lambda chain genes on chromosome #22, respectively (1-5). In order to explain this close correlation between specific translocations and light chain expression in BL and BL-type acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) (L3 type), Hecht et al. [6] proposed the concept of position effect, which is reviewed herein.
伯基特淋巴瘤(BL)细胞表面免疫球蛋白的类型与肿瘤中发生改变的特定染色体相关。例如,发生t(2;8)易位的BL表达κ(kappa)轻链,而发生t(8;22)易位的BL表达λ(lambda)轻免疫球蛋白链;这些分别与2号染色体上κ链基因和22号染色体上λ链基因的位置相对应(1 - 5)。为了解释BL和BL型急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL,L3型)中特定易位与轻链表达之间的这种密切相关性,赫克特等人[6]提出了位置效应的概念,本文对此进行综述。
