CD8A and leukemia: To gain insight into the miRNA profile of T-LGL leukemia cells in view of its possible contribution to disease pathogenesis, we deep sequenced miRNAs from purified cells of a total of six TCRαβ+ CD8+ T-LGL patients and five sorted age-matched healthy control CD8+ TEMRA cell fractions as the closest normal counterpart cell, using a next-generation sequencing approach.
