Q

How does PARR work?

A

PCR for antigen receptor rearrangements
PCR amplifying immunoglobulin gene (B cell) or T-cell receptor gene
Detects either single gene or different products

17
Q

What are the limitations of PARR

A

False +ves (Ehrlichia)
False -ves (rare)
Some tumours show clonal rearrangements of B and T
Not reliable as sole determinant of phenotype
