B-cell activating factor (BAFF) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) are involved in normal B cell survival and differentiation. We analyzed BAFF and APRIL plasma levels in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). We also tested intracellular BAFF and APRIL expression in B-C
Analysis of peripheral blood (>85% CD19+/CD5+ B) lymphocytes, obtained from 44 patients affected by B chronic lymphoid leukemia (B-CLL), showed that surface TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) was expressed in all samples and at higher levels with respect to unfractionated lymphocytes and
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) share many features and their differential diagnosis may be challenging, especially when a leukemic picture alone is present. Monoclonal antibody panels are often useful, with CD23 being the most reliable. However, MCL diagnosis sho
