Abstract
The hallmark of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) are mononucleated Hodgkin's cells and multinucleated Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells, which usually account for only about 1% of cells in the tumor tissue. The majority of HRS cells in classical HL are derived from germinal centre B cells that have...

Abstract
We identified an SP in the HL cell lines, KMH2 and L428. This SP almost entirely consists of distinct small mononuclear cells, whereas the non-SP is a mixture of relatively large cells with H or RS cell-like morphology. Culture of the small mononuclear cells in the SP from KMH2 generated a non-SP. S...

Abstract
Because of its rarity, pathologic and clinical features of Hodgkin lymphoma-like posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (HL-like PTLD) are not well understood, and it is unclear whether its biological behavior is more closely related to classical Hodgkin disease or to monomorphic B-cell PTLD. T...

Abstract
We assessed the standardized BIOMED-2 IGH and IGK PCR primers for the detection of clonality using 50 consecutively diagnosed formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) classic HL specimens. Without microdissection, clonality was detected in 23 of 47 assessable cases. The IGK assay was significantly m...

Abstract
All analyzable HL expressed the HDAC isoforms 2 (n = 194) and 3 (n = 207) in over 50%, mostly 100%, of HRSC and almost all background lymphocytes. HDAC1 was expressed in 169 of 179 analyzable HL in a mean of 82% and in 172 out of 179 analyzable cases in a mean of 83% of infiltrating lymphocytes. HDA...

Abstract
Mediastinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (Med-DLBCL) is a subtype of DLBCL that has morphologic and clinical similarities and phenotypic overlaps with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) involving the mediastinum. CD23 is a marker that has been previously reported in Med-DLBCI and is p...

We present 65-year-old female with Hodgkin's variant of Richter's syndrome. On the basis of clinical simptoms, cytological, hystological and immunohistological finding in April 2008 CLL/SLL were diagnosed. The patient was treated with 8 courses of R-CHOP. After 10 months, FNA of the one of the enlar...

Abstract
We recently identified a novel gene, KLHDC8B, which appears responsible for some familial cases of cHL. KLHDC8B encodes a midbody kelch protein expressed during cytokinesis. Deficiency of KLHDC8B leads to binucleated cells, implicating its involvement in Reed-Sternberg cell formation. Interestingly,...

Abstract
Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is a malignant neoplasm of lymphoid tissues. Cervical lymphadenopathy is the most common head and neck presentation for HL. Although uncommon, extranodal HL observed at the time of diagnosis is well documented and is typically associated with generalized disease or local spre...

Abstract
Hodgkin disease was first described more than 175 years ago. Clinically and histomorphologically, the features of Hodgkin lymphoma are unusual for a lymphoma or for other malignancies. The incidence of Hodgkin lymphoma is estimated to be 7400 new cases per year in the United States, resulting in an...

Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and lymphocytic and histiocytic (L&H) cells in nodular lymphocyte-predominant HL (NLPHL) are derived from germinal-center B cells.

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is derived from mature B cells and subdivided into classical HL and nodular lymphocyte predominant HL (NLPHL).

The positive rate of CD20 is relatively low in HRS cells of CHL. It is higher in the patients aged > or =45 years than in those aged <45 years. However, according to our results, the expression of CD20 is not an independent prognostic factor for FFS and OS of naive CHL patients....

Abstract
We used a non-viral vector-based method to express LMP1 in primary human GC B cells. Gene expression profiling revealed that LMP1 induced in GC B cells transcriptional changes characteristic of Hodgkin's lymphoma cell lines. Strikingly, LMP1 down-regulated the expression of B-cell-specific genes inc...

Abstract
High MCM6 antigen expression was a striking feature of Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg cells (median: 85%, range: 35 - 99%) in comparison with lower Ki-67 expression (median: 63.5%, range: 1 - 98%, P<0.001). This indicates that MCM6 is already expressed in the early G1 phase, a cell cycle fraction that...

Abstract
We found that EBV infection increased the expression of the chemokine CCL20 in both primary Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells and Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cell-derived cell lines. Additionally, this up-regulation could be mediated by the EBV nuclear antigen 1 protein. The higher levels of CCL20 in...
