We found that U-CLL cases showed a significantly more prominent proliferative response (48 ± 27% vs 17 ± 14% for M-CLL; p < 0.001); however, no significant differences were evident in terms of apoptosis, although U-CLL cases showed a trend for more homogeneous protection (25 ± 19 vs 38 ± 19 in U-CLL vs M-CLL cases; p = 0.5).
