Transcriptome sequencing data derived from sorted CD19+CD5+ CLL cells were analyzed comparing spontaneously regressed CLL (n = 15) against indolent M-CLL (n = 17). Positive logFC values identify genes that are upregulated in spontaneously regressed CLL, whereas negative logFC values identify genes that are downregulated.
