Abstract

The protein Pax5 is over expressed in a number of B cell lymphomas and may play a causative role in this disease type. Pax5 is normally involved in cutting and pasting DNA to make antibodies. Lymphomas can occur when mistakes are made in this process. This project will make a model of Pax5 over expression to determine whether this dysregulates the antibody generation process and causes lymphomas, and the mechanisms involved.
