Mycobacterium ulcerans, an environmental opportunistic pathogen, causes necrotic cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions, named Buruli ulcers, in tropical countries. PCR-derived tests used to detect M. ulcerans in environmental and clinical samples do not allow one-shot detection, identification, and typing of M.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is considered a clonal B cell malignancy. Sporadically, CLL cases with multiple productive heavy and light-chain rearrangements were detected, thus leading to a bi- or oligoclonal CLL disease with leukemic cells originating either from different B cells or otherwise descending from secondary immunoglobulin rearrangement events. This suggests a potential role of clonal hematopoiesis or germline predisposition in these cases.

Stable aneuploid genomes with nonrandom numerical changes in uneven ploidy ranges define distinct subsets of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. The idea put forward herein suggests that they emerge from interactions between diploid mitotic and G0/G1 cells, which can in a single step produce all combinations of mono-, di-, tri-, tetra- and pentasomic paternal/maternal homologue configurations that define such genomes. A nanotube-mediated influx of interphase cell cytoplasm into mitotic cells would thus be responsible for the critical nondisjunction and segregation errors by physically impeding the proper formation of the cell division machinery, whereas only a complete cell fusion can simultaneously generate pentasomies, uniparental trisomies as well as biclonal hypo- and hyperdiploid cell populations.

A restricted polyclonal or biclonal gammopathy resulting in bleeding tendencies was diagnosed in a young, neutered male English bulldog with concurrent splenomegaly, anemia, and severe elevations in IgM and, to a lesser degree, IgA immunoglobulins. There was a positive clinical response to treatment with prednisone and chlorambucil. This case bears similarity to a recently published syndrome of polyclonal gammopathy that is not neoplastic in origin in this breed.

Background: Clonal VDJ rearrangement of B/T cell receptors (B/TCRs) occurring during B/T lymphocyte development has been used as a marker to track the clonality of B/T cell populations.
Methods: We systematically profiled the B/T cell receptor repertoire of 936 cancer cell lines across a variety of cancer types as well as 462 Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) transformed normal B lymphocyte lines using RNA sequencing data.
Results: Rearranged B/TCRs were readily detected in cell lines derived from lymphocytes, and subclonality or potential biclonality were found in a number of blood cancer cell lines.
