6-methylthiopurine and Burkitt Lymphoma

6-methylthiopurine has been researched along with Burkitt Lymphoma in 1 studies

6-methylthiopurine : A thiopurine that is 9H-purine substituted by a methylsulfanyl group at position 6.

Burkitt Lymphoma: A form of undifferentiated malignant LYMPHOMA usually found in central Africa, but also reported in other parts of the world. It is commonly manifested as a large osteolytic lesion in the jaw or as an abdominal mass. B-cell antigens are expressed on the immature cells that make up the tumor in virtually all cases of Burkitt lymphoma. The Epstein-Barr virus (HERPESVIRUS 4, HUMAN) has been isolated from Burkitt lymphoma cases in Africa and it is implicated as the causative agent in these cases; however, most non-African cases are EBV-negative.
