T‐cell origin of Lennert's lymphoma

Abstract
The arrangement of the T-cell receptor and immunoglobulin genes has been analysed in five cases of Lennert''s lymphoma. All cases showed rearrangement of the gene coding for the .beta. chain of the T-cell receptor and a germline configuration of the immunoglobulin genes. This provides strong evidence that Lennert''s lymphoma is a T-cell lymphoma.
