The cause of hypogammaglobulinemia in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is unknown. Experiments were performed to determine if sera, monocytes, or non-T cells from patients with CLL suppress the proliferative response and synthesis of immunoglobulin (Ig) following incubation with poke
## BACKGROUND. Although patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have an increased risk of developing second primary malignancies, including lung carcinoma, there is virtually no information about their clinical outcomes. To evaluate this, the authors reviewed their 20-year institutional e
## Background: Interleukin 6 (il-6) is a b-cell growth and differentiation factor, which may promote the growth of b-cell neoplasms. in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll) patients, il-6 plasma levels increased in a stage-dependent manner, suggesting that il-6 may be a useful prognostic marker. the
