Similarly, microarray analyses by Basso et al. have demonstrated aberrant up-regulation of the MCC transcript in patient samples of B lymphomas (PEL, CBL, BL and DLBCL) as compared with normal B cells of different activation stages, including naive pre-germinal center B cells, centroblasts, centrocytes, and memory B cells [38]. The gene discussed is MCC; the disease is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
