Abstract:
:The clinical application of B- and T-cell gene rearrangement analysis is discussed relative to diagnostic problems in specific lymphoproliferative disorders. This article reviews the use of the Southern blot hybridization technique for B- and T-cell gene rearrangement detection in the analysis of various hematopoietic lesions. Several case studies are presented and analyzed.
