Molecular assay reagents intended for use in identifying exchanges (i.e., translocations) between chromosomes 8 and 14. These translocations usually involve the MYC oncogene on chromosome 8 and the immunoglobulin loci on chromosome 14. This translocation is present in most patients with Burkitt\'s cell leukemia or Burkitt\'s lymphoma. Its detection may be used as a tumor marker.
