O’Callaghan et al. [10] observed a significant increase in the rituximab-induced apoptotic effect on Burkitt lymphoma cell lines and primary CLL cells, when combined with the CXCR4 antagonizing pepducins; a treatment strategy which was also capable of increasing the survival of mice with disseminated Burkitt lymphoma xenografts, compared to treating with rituximab alone. Here, CXCR4 is linked to Burkitt lymphoma.
