Abstract
We have studied the effect of chemotherapy on the level of a particular kind of genetic instability in patients with Hodgkin's disease. The particular type of genetic instability assayed is exemplified by trans-rearrangements between two (rather than within one) T cell antigen receptor. 16 patients were studied during their course of treatment. Presentation samples were available for 13 of these patients; 9 of them showed an increase in the level of trans-rearrangements during their exposure to chemotherapeutic agents (P < 0.043). All patients for whom posttherapy samples were available (10 out of 16) showed a return to baseline levels of trans-rearrangements 1-5 mo after completion of therapy (P < 0.03). Thus, this assay appears to be a marker for the "destabilizing" effects of certain chemotherapeutic agents.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
