accumulation of B lymphocytes expressing CD5. To date, the biological significance of this
molecule in B-CLL B cells remains to be elucidated. In this study, we have analysed the
functional consequences of the binding of an anti-CD5 antibody on B-CLL B cells. To this
purpose, we have measured the percentage of viability of B-CLL B cells in the presence or
in the absence of anti-CD5 antibodies and also examined some of the biochemical events …
