摘要：

For decades, immunologists have reported conversion of B-lymphocytic tumors to cells with properties of macrophages. This process was considered to be an anomalous result of malignancy in mice and in humans. For patients, the consequences of this biphenotypic cancer are a poor prognosis and low remission rate. Here, Melinda Borrello and Richard Phipps discuss the identification of a normal counterpart to these malignant B/macrophage cells.
