title: Mitogenic stimulation of malignant B cells. Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia: secretion of monoclonal IgM by in vitro-induced plasmablasts.
abstract: This study provides evidence that leukaemic B cells are able to proliferate and differentiate into plasmablasts. The Ig produced was monoclonal in nature and this was shown by gel electrophoresis.
