Background Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)-like monoclonal B lymphocytosis (MBL) with (MBLhi) or without (MBLlo) absolute B-lymphocytosis precedes most CLL cases,the specific determinants for malignant progression remaining unknown. Methodology/Principal Findings For this purpose, simultaneous iFISH and molecular analysis of well-established cytogenetic alterations chromosomes 11, 12, 13, 14 17 together the pattern rearrangement IGHV genes were performed in CLL-like cells from MBL cases....

Low-count monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis is defined by the presence of very low numbers circulating clonal B cells, usually phenotypically similar to chronic lymphocytic leukemia whose biological and clinical significance remains elusive. Herein, we re-evaluated 65/91 low-count cases (54 leukemia-like 11 non-chronic leukemia-like) followed-up for a median seven years, using high-sensitivity flow cytometry interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization. Overall, clone size significantly...

Abstract Background: Monoclonal B‐cell lymphocytosis (MBL) indicates <5 × 10 9 peripheral blood (PB) clonal B‐cells/L in healthy individuals. In most cases, MBL cells show similar phenotypic/genetic features to chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells—CLL‐like MBL—but little is known about non‐CLL‐like MBL. Methods: PB samples from 639 individuals (46% men/54% women) >40 years old (62 ± 13years) with normal lymphocyte counts (2.1 0.7 /L) were immunophenotyped using high‐sensitive flow...

Chronic antigen-stimulation has been recurrently involved in the earlier stages of monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and other lymphoproliferative disorders. The expansion two or more clones frequently reported individuals with these conditions; potentially, such coexisting have a greater probability interaction common immunological determinants. Here, we analyzed receptor repertoire molecular profile, as well phenotypic, cytogenetic hematologic features, 228...

Reference ranges of blood-circulating leukocyte populations by, e.g., age and sex, are required for monitoring immune-cell kinetics. Most previous reports in which flow cytometry has been used to define the reference counts included a limited number donors and/or cell did not consider sex simultaneously. Moreover, other factors previously considered definition normal ranges, such as presence chronic-lymphocytic-leukemia (CLL)-like low-count monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBLlo), might also...

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is a malignant B cell disorder characterized by its high heterogeneity. Although genomic alterations have been broadly reported, protein studies are still in their early stages. Herein, 224‐antibody microarray has employed to study the intracellular signalling pathways cohort of 14 newly diagnosed B‐CLL patients as preliminary for further investigations. Several profiles were differentially identified across cytogenetic and molecular presented samples...

Patients diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) display a high incidence of infections due to an associated immunodeficiency that includes hypogammaglobulinemia. A higher risk has also been recently reported for high-count monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis, while no information is available in low-count lymphocytosis. Here, we evaluated the status humoral immune system patients (n=58), as well low- (n=71) and high- (n=29) count lymphocytosis versus healthy donors (n=91). Total free...

Abstract Monoclonal B cell lymphocytosis (MBL) is now recognized as the B‐lymphocyte analogue of a monoclonal gammopathy unknown significance. MBL can be precursor chronic lymphocytic leukemia or associated with non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma. It may an autoimmune abnormality related to aging (immunosenescence). The combination available new fluorochrome‐conjugated antibody reagents, multilaser instrumentation, and improved software tools have led level multicolor analysis MBL. Presently, several...

A wide variety of immunoglobulins (Ig) is produced by the immune system thanks to different mechanisms (V(D)J recombination, somatic hypermutation, and antigen selection). The profiling Ig sequences (at both DNA peptide levels) are great relevance developing targeted vaccines or treatments for specific diseases infections. Thus, genomics proteomics techniques (such as Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) mass spectrometry (MS)) have notably increased knowledge in sequencing serum a...

DOI: 10.1002/pmic.201500372 The characterization of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) at genomic level has been performed throughout the last decades providing a broad knowledge disease. Nevertheless, studies concerning proteins have limited in this cancer. Thus, use affinity (antibody microarrays) and MS/MS proteomic strategies allowed establishment preliminary profiles different CLL stages increasing about For more details, see article by Paula Díez et al. on page 1193.

Monoclonal B-Cell Lymphocytosis (MBL) is part of the mature B-cell neoplasms despite actually being a pre-neoplastic condition [1], this entity, largely unstudied, affects more than 5-10% older adults age 40 and incidence increases with aging [2,3], MBL widely associated as one main risk factors for developing Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)/Small Cell Lymphoma (SLL), since studies Prospective cohort verified, in effect, that CLL always preceded by MBL, therefore, greater number clonal B...
