The putative role of transforming viruses in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Levels of intracellular bcl-2 oncoprotein have been found to be increased in leukemic cells of CD5+ B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients. However, it is not clear whether bcl-2 overexpression is a peculiar feature of CD5+ B-CLL. Based on this background we carried out a quantitative f...
