Provided are isolated and purified preparations of a combination of a light chain antibody gene and a heavy chain antibody gene, where the light chain and heavy chain antibody genes are the same among more than one patient with B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). Vectors comprising those genes and cells comprising those vectors are also provided, as are isolated and purified antibodies encoded by the antibody genes. Anti-idiotype antibodies, peptides, and aptamers that bind to the antigen-binding region of an antibody encoded by the antibody genes are additionally provided, as are multimeric molecules comprising multiple binding sites that bind to the antigen-binding region of an antibody encoded by the antibody genes. Methods of determining whether a patient with B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) has a form of B-CLL that is susceptible to treatment directed to eliminating idiotype specific B cell receptor-bearing B-CLL cells are also provided, as are methods of following the progression of treatment of B-CLL in the patient. Additionally, methods of treating a patient having B-CLL are provided, as are methods of identifying a therapeutic agent for B-CLL.       Recently Added Patents Urocortin-III and uses thereof Metal phthalocyanine dye mixture, curable composition, color filter, and method for producing color filter Multi-projector system using multiplexed illumination Wet gas measurement Dual activated actuator cap Solid surface sheets containing post-consumer recycled materials and methods of making same Execution time estimation method and device   Randomly Featured Patents Apparatus for feeding granular silicon material Fluid distribution device Grouping of dot data in a multiple column dot-matrix printer Ohmic contacts for semiconductor devices Methods and compositions using calcium carbonate Process for the separation of mixtures of insulin, insulin derivatives and, where appropriate, impurities Olefin-based copolymer composition Method and system for providing incentives in a business environment Network-based multimedia communications and directory system and method of operation Differental locking mechanism for a final reduction gear © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
