title: [The pathogenesis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. II].
abstract: Starting from a survey of the present knowledge of morphological, immunological and biochemical characteristics of lymphocytes degenerated in leukamic respect and their kinetics, proposals are made for the pathogenesis of chronic lymphatic leukaemia (CLL). The fact that a progressing restriction of the functional immunological variety will occur in the typical CLL is discussed. Besides normal T and B cells there are elements similar to B and T cells whose percentage of proportion changes in the course of the illness with diminution of function and increasing immunological defect.
