## Abstract Clonal Tβcell receptor (TCR) gamma and delta gene rearrangements were studied in 40 TβALL cases (pediatrics, 29; adults, 11) using PCR with homoβheteroduplex analysis. At least one clonal TCRG or TCRD rearrangement was detected in 34 (85%) cases. TCR gamma (__TCRG__) rearrangement was d
The presence of BCL-2gene rearrangement has been detected also in cellular populations lacking the t(14;18) chromosomal translocation, such as B-lineage acute lymphobiastic leukemia (ALL) cells. It has been reported that overexpression of BCL-2 is related to resistance to glucocorticoid-induced apop
We describe a 76-year-old man with acute-type adult T-cell leukemia, who demonstrated a spontaneous decrease in leukemic cell number, apparently coincident with apoptotic cell death. On admission the patient's white blood cell count was 38.9 Γ 10 9 /l with 77% abnormal lymphocytes. He also had hypop
