The Hodgkin's lymphoma-derived cell line L540, which exhibits multiple marker chromosomes and a genotype characteristic of T-cell origin, showed expression of MET oncogene.
Of special interest was the finding that some cases of Hodgkin's lymphoma and AIL contain clonal rearrangement of the TcR genes, which suggests that in those cases the malignant cells may be of T cell origin.
Bcl-2 was found in all types of hematopoietic cell lines which were assigned to the following lineages based on their phenotypical characteristics: pre-B, B, plasma, T, myeloid, monocytic, erythroid-megakaryocytic and Hodgkin's lymphoma derived cell lines.
To assess the role of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) gene in the development of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), the polymorphism of this gene in EBV isolates from different geographic locations was analyzed.
CD30 is a surface marker for neoplastic cells of Hodgkin's lymphoma and shows sequence homology to members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily.

LMP1 is present in the majority of nasopharyngeal carcinoma tumor cells and in Reed-Sternberg cells from Hodgkin's lymphoma, in which the only EBV nuclear antigen detected is EBNA1.
Isolation and analysis of two strongly transforming isoforms of the Epstein-Barr-Virus(EBV)-encoded latent membrane protein-1 (LMP1) from a single Hodgkin's lymphoma.
High expression of the CC chemokine TARC in Reed-Sternberg cells. A possible explanation for the characteristic T-cell infiltratein Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The latent membrane protein LMP1 of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is often present in EBV-associated malignancies including nasopharyngeal carcinoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Increased serum calcium and serum angiotensin-converting enzyme activity have been associated with clinical sarcoidosis but have also occasionally been described in association with Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma without evidence of sarcoidosis.
This new rIT is a promising candidate for further clinical evaluation in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma or other CD30(+) malignancies.(Blood.2000;95:3909-3914)
Reporter gene assays revealed that the CD30 promoter (-413 to 84) induces a 50- to 1000-fold higher luciferase expression in CD30(+) human lymphoid cell lines (Co, Jurkat, and the Hodgkin's lymphoma-derived cell line L540) than in CD30(-) human lymphoid cell lines (DG75, SUP-T1, and U698M), CD30(-) human carcinoma cell lines (HeLa and MCF-7), or COS1 cells.
