Abstract
The effects of various oncogenes in the multistep transformation process have been relatively well studied in fibroblasts, while much less is known in other tissues (1,2). The hematopoietic system, and the B-lymphoid lineage in particular, affords an excellent opportunity for analysing the effects of different oncogenes. This system is extensively defined in terms of differentiation, growth and function, and a vast array of reagents is available for the precise dissection of each of these aspects.
