Tcl1 as a model for lymphomagenesis.
Mature leukemias and lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative neoplasias characterized by the accumulation of mature lymphocytes in lymph nodes, other lymphoid tissues, and peripheral blood. In this article we discuss molecular mechanisms leading to the pathogenesis of two major types of mature leukemias and lymphomas: mature T-cell leukemia and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
