Journal ArticleDOI

A study of the properties of a low-grade mucosal B-cell lymphoma using a monoclonal antibody specific for the tumour immunoglobulin.

TL;DR: It is suggested that low‐grade MALT lymphomas may migrate beyond the primary tumour site, but that tumour cells distant to the primary site may differentiate into mature, non‐dividing plasma cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

IgVH gene analysis suggests that peritoneal B cells do not contribute to the gut immune system in man

TL;DR: Overall, this study suggested that human peritoneal B cell are either peripheral or mixed in origin; they are unlikely to represent an inductive compartment for the mucosal B cell system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypermutation at A-T Base Pairs: The A Nucleotide Replacement Spectrum Is Affected by Adjacent Nucleotides and There Is No Reverse Complementarity of Sequences Flanking Mutated A and T Nucleotides

TL;DR: It is shown here that the motifs surrounding the different substitutions from A vary significantly; there is no single targeting motif for all A mutations, and WA and TW should not be considered as reverse complement hot spot motifs for A and T mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Somatic hypermutation and B-cell lymphoma.

TL;DR: It is investigated the load and distribution of mutations in one group of lymphomas--marginal zone B-cell lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT-type lymphoma), which are dependent on Helicobacter pylori for disease progression, and feels that there is selection to conserve antibody structure and that this does not reflect selection for antigen.
