Constitutive production of the interleukins IL-5 and IL-6 by the lymphoma cell line OCI-Ly 17 derived from a patient with malignant lymphoma and hypereosinophilia.
However 3 cases of CD25-positive ML showed a dramatically higher density of IL-6 producing cells (70, 50, 43 producing cells per 10,000 cells, respectively) as compared to the other 9 cases of CD25-positive ML (mean 6.03 +/- 2.1 per 10,000).
Previous studies showed that IL-6 was capable to induce IL-2 receptor expression as well as production of IL-2 and stimulation of lymphomatous cells growth.

A further heterogeneity in the relative proportion of naive and memory TIL-T was also observed within lymphoma (range: 11 to 68% in B-cell NHL, 5 to 69% in HD).
In the immunophenotype study of 33 patients with FL, the expression of CD10 antigen correlated with bcl-2 involvement, whereas none of the other B markers emerged as parameters to distinguish between the two lymphoma groups; those with, and without, the rearrangements.

In the B-cell lymphomas tested, FUB-1 reacted with small cleaved cell lymphomas (3/12), large cell lymphomas (7/10), Burkitt's lymphomas (4/4) and immunoblastic lymphomas (2/2), but not with small cell lymphomas (0/3) or intermediate lymphocytic lymphomas (0/8).
Cases in point are the detection of RAS and FMS mutations in healthy individuals who had been treated in the past with cytotoxic therapy for lymphoma, the frequent observation of clonal remission in AML patients, or the identification of oncogene mutations in healthy individuals without even a history of malignancy or chemotherapy.
All 18 pretransformation follicular lymphoma specimens displayed at least one immunoglobulin gene and BCL-2 rearrangement in common with the corresponding histologically progressed lymphoma, indicating a clonal relationship between the original follicular lymphoma and the histologically transformed lymphoma.
In contrast, transcripts hybridizing with metalloproteinase gene probes (interstitial collagenase and 72-Kd type IV collagenase) were expressed at very low levels in malignant lymphomas and their expression was not coordinately regulated with that of TIMP-1.

Because the LMP gene has transforming potential, our findings support the concept of a pathoetiologic role for EBV in a proportion of CD30-positive ALC lymphomas.

Although p105 content tended to be higher in HAL than in an AIDS-related complex (ARC)-associated hyperplastic lymph node control, no statistically significant associations were found between p105 content and proliferative activity or the number of mitoses per 10 high-power fields.

Detailed immunophenotypic analyses of immunologically classified leukemias and lymphomas showed that CD40 displays an exquisite B-lineage specificity within the human lymphopoietic system.
