(A); FACS analysis of cell surface antigens in CD45+CD19− xenograft tumors, as compared to patient tumor cells. Only cells expressing human CD45 were analyzed. Xenograft tumors generated from patients 1 and 4 are shown, although similar results were obtained from all xenograft tumors injected with other patient samples.
(B); t(11:14)(q13:q32) translocations were detected in patient tumor cells (Pt1) as well as CD45+CD19− xenograft tumors as determined by FISH. Note the yellow fusion signals (arrows). Boxed regions in left panels are shown at higher magnification in right panels.
