CLL is a clone of mature B cells

Mature B cells interact with the microenvironment

CLL cells are doing the same!

Distinct homotypic BcR interactions shape the outcome of CLL

CLL BcR immunoglobulins initiate intracellular signaling through homotypic interactions between epitopes that are specific for each stereotyped subset.

The molecular details of the BcR-BcR interactions determine the clinical course

stronger affinities and longer half-lives in indolent cases

weaker, short-lived contacts in aggressive cases

The diversity of homotypic BcR contacts leading to cell-autonomous signaling reconciles the existence of a shared pathogenic mechanism with the biological and clinical heterogeneity of CLL
