B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is a disease of the elderly and is characterized by a malignant clone of CD5+ B cells. In old mice, clonal expansions of CD5+ B cells are a common feature, and these animals frequently develop B-CLL. To investigate whether clonal expansion of CD5+ B cells

In this study the mode of expression of CD5 by human tonsillar CD5-B cells after stimulation with different agents was investigated. Resting B cells were separated into CD5+ and CD5cells and the two cell fractions exposed to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). CD5-B cells expressed CD5 and maximu
## Abstract The CD20 surface antigen is expressed on the great majority of Bβcell lymphoma cases. The expression of this antigen ranges from moderate to bright, and it is neither internalized nor shed. These characteristics make CD20 a common target for antibody directed lymphoma therapy. The devel
