## Abstract Immunofluorescent techniques were used to examine several aspects of B cell ontogeny in humans. Large lymphoid cells containing intracytoplasmic IgM (preβB cells) were present in fetal liver as early as 7 weeks of gestation, approximately 2 weeks prior to the appearance of surface IgM p
The surface membrane immunoglobulin (smIg) isotype pattern of the leukemic lymphocytes was studied in 66 unselected patients with CLL. Five distinct patient groups were identified according to the dominant heavy chain isotype(s); I: smp' (n=22), 11: smpc/sm6+ (n=25), 111: sm6+ (n=4), IV smy' (n=5),
