β¦ Synopsis
Using a sensitive immunohistochemical technique and a specific monoclonal antibody (RFD-3), follicular dendritic cells (FDC) have been demonstrated in a significant proportion (6/12) of bone marrow samples from patients with nodular marrow involvement of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). In all cases with "packed marrow" involvement and advanced stages of disease the FDC were absent. As these accessory cells are normally present only in the lymph nodes, their presence in the bone marrow is in accord with the view that B-CLL might be the malignancy of an immature subpopulation of lymph node lymphocytes that invade the bone marrow.

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that transforms to Richter syndrome (RS) frequently show atypical lymphocytes in bone marrow; however, a diagnosis of RS requires confirmation of the presence of sheets of large cells in bone marrow or lymph nodes. ## METH
Using a sister chromatid differentiation technique, cell cycle study of stimulated lymphocytes of B-Cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) revealed their cell cycle progression to be similar to that of normal lymphocytes stimulated by T-cell and various polyclonal B-cell activators (PBA).

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
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is characterized by the slow and progressive accumulation of monoclonal apparently mature, CD5 Ψ B lymphocytes. The majority of circulating cells appear to be nondividing, and it has been suggested that a prolonged life span is mainly responsible for the a
