Abstract

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a malignancy of mature B-lymphocytes that manifests in a variety of clinical courses. The accumulation of CLL-cells is primarily caused by defective apoptosis; however, a higher proliferative capacity has also been found to correlate with poorer prognostic factors. Proliferating CLL-cells are confined to specialized structures called pseudofollicles, which ...
