To characterize B lineage tumors and connect them to specific stages of B cell differentiation.
Utilized monoclonal antibodies to identify B cell-associated antigens
Classified B cell tumors into three differentiation subgroups
Compared antigen expression on malignant tumors and normal B lymphocytes
B cell restricted antigens were found exclusively on B cell malignancies.
B cell associated antigens appeared on tumors outside of the B lineage.
Identified three major subgroups of B cell tumors based on differentiation level: pre-B, mid-B, and secretory B cell stages.
