title: Immunoregulatory capability of murine CLL-like CD5+ B cells.
abstract: NZB mice spontaneously develop clones of hyperdiploid CD5+B cells, which are much like the malignant cells of CLL. We have found that these clonal CD5+B cells are immunoregulatory. The development of these cells is accompanied by the loss of detectable normal percentages of IgM+ B220(6B2)+ B cells secondary to hyperplasia of splenic non-B cells, which are positively regulated by the hyperdiploid B-cell clone.
