Abstract

The clinical success of agents targeting the B-cell receptor signaling pathway in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) may also derive from disrupting the CLL microenvironment. Investigation of the immunomodulatory effects of these agents illuminates the unique immunobiology of CLL and highlights potential targets for dismantling the chronic inflammatory drive.
