Application of a multiprobe RNase protection assay and junctional sequences to define V beta gene diversity in Sezary syndrome

Nineteen patients with mycosis fungoides/Sezary syndrome (MF/SZ), a malignancy of the mature helper T-cell phenotype (CD4+TCR alpha beta+), were screened for clonotypic V beta expansions in peripheral blood with a multiprobe RNase protection assay. A different predominant V beta gene was identified...
