title: More ZAP for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
abstract: Antigen stimulation of the leukemic clone is increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of CLL. Chen and colleagues provide evidence that expression of ZAP-70 in CLL B cells renders IgM signaling more effective and thereby could contribute to the more rapidly progressive clinical course of ZAP-70-positive CLL.
