    Notes: The aim of this study was to elucidate the origin of Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg cells. Lymph node cytospins and frozen sections from 20 cases of Hodgkin's disease of different histological subtypes were immunostained by the immunoalkaline phosphatase technique using a panel of monoclonal antibodies. As expected, the Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg cells of all cases were positive for the CD30 (Ki-1), CD 15 (hapten X) and CD25 (Tac) antigens. In eight cases, a variable percentage of typical Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg cells showed a clear-cut cytoplasmic and/or surface positivity for the T-cell-associated antigens CD3, CD5, CD6 and CD4 (seven cases) or CD8 (one case), but consistently lacked B-cell and macrophage-associated markers. The best visualization of T-cell antigens was obtained in cytocentrifuge preparations and in areas of lymph node frozen sections that had been infiltrated by clusters of Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg cells. In two cases of Hodgkin's disease (nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity) the neoplastic cells weakly expressed the B-cell antigens CD19 and CD22, but not T-cell or macrophage-associated markers. In 10 cases, Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg cells were negative for all the lymphoid- and macrophage-associated antigens. These results suggest a lymphoid (either T or B) rather than histiocytic origin for the Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg cells in a number of Hodgkin's disease cases.

    Large cell lymphoma of bone. A report of three cases of B-cell origin (1988)

    Notes: Clinicopathological and immunohistological features of three cases of large cell lymphoma of bone are reported. On histological grounds, all the cases were diagnosed as histiocytic lymphomas (Rappaport) or primary centroblastic lymphomas, polymorphic subtype (Kiel). On immunophenotyping, malignant cells strongly reacted with the anti-ieucocyte antibodies PD7/26 and ROS-220C, thereby indicating their lymphomatous nature, and expressed the B-cell antigens CD19 and CD22. Further studies are warranted to determine whether the B-cell phenotype observed in our cases is typical of the majority of primary large cell lymphomas of bone. Immunohistological analysis with monoclonal antibodies is expected to be of great value not only in defining the immunological phenotype of this rare pathological entity, but also in differentiating it from other neoplasms that involve the skeleton, either primarily or secondarily.

    Expression of the intestinal T-lymphocyte associated molecule HML-1: analysis of 75 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and description of the first HML-1 positive T-lymphoblastic tumour (1991)

    Notes: The expression of the gut intra-epithelial T-cell associated molecule HML-1, a trimeric protein of 150, 125, 105 kD, was studied in 75 T-cell lymphomas of different subtypes: 20 T-lymphoblastic lymphomas/leukaemias; 50 nodal peripheral T-cell lymphomas; and five intestinal T-cell lymphomas. Our results confirm: (i) the usefulness of the HML-1 monoclonal antibody as an immunohistochemical marker for intestinal T-cell lymphomas; and (ii) the lack of reactivity of HML-1 with nodal peripheral T-cell lymphomas. Moreover, expression of the HML-1 molecule was found for the first time in a case of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukaemia. The patient presented with a mediastinal mass which consisted of HML-1 + neoplastic cells displaying a phenotypic profile consistent with early thymocytes. Genes coding for the α, β, γ, and δ chains of the T-cell receptor were in a germline configuration. The neoplastic cells could have been derived from the small subset of HML-1 + thymocytes detectable in the cortex of normal human thymus.

    Interleukin-2-dependent long-term cultures of low-density lymphocytes allow the proliferation of lymphokine-activated killer cells with natural killer, Tiγ/δ or TNK phenotype (1990)

    Notes: Summary We have developed a culture system for “longterm” growth of human lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells exhibiting an elevated, wide-spectrum antitumor cytotoxicity. The system allows the exponential growth of monocyte-depleted low-density lymphocytes in the presence of human serum and recombinant human interleukin-2 (103 U/ml), alone or in combination with interleukin-1 α or β (both at 10 U/ml). Eighteen cultures were established from 18 normal adult donors. The membrane phenotypes of the final LAK cell population, assessed by a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAb), consist of three main types: (a) NKH-1+, Tiα/β−, Tiγ/δ−, and CD3− lymphocytes; (b) NKH-1+, Tiα/β−, Tiγ/δ+, and CD3+ lymphocytes and (c) NKH-1+, Tiα/β+, Tiγ/δ− and CD3+ lymphocytes. Northern blot analysis showed that all these cell populations express relatively high levels of perforin RNA, particularly cells exhibiting the first phenotype. This culture system may provide a tool for cellular and molecular studies on the mechanisms of antitumor cytotoxicity, as well as the basis for new adoptive immunotherapy protocols in advanced cancer.

    Behaviour of biological indicators of cadmium in relation to occupational exposure (1985)

    Notes: Summary Cadmium in blood (CdB), cadmium in urine (CdU) and beta2-microglobulins (β2MU) were determined in 83 male workers exposed to cadmium fumes. CdU was measured both on 24-h urine samples and on spot samples. The behaviour of the biological indicators of cadmium was assessed in relation to degree of current exposure, length of exposure and cumulative exposure (computed as concentration of cadmium at the workplace multiplied by duration of exposure). CdB values were significantly higher in the subgroups of subjects with higher current cadmium exposure and in the subgroups of subjects with greater cumulative exposure, but the test levels were not influenced by duration of exposure. CdU levels were significantly higher in the subgroups of subjects with greater cumulative exposure, but were less influenced by current exposure or duration of exposure. Considering the entire population, a rather close correlation (r = 0.69) was observed between CdB and CdU. When the population was divided according to level of current exposure, a close relationship was observed between the two indicators in all subgroups; nevertheless, for identical CdU values, the CdB values were higher in the subjects with heavier current exposure. Even if in all Cd workers the β2MU levels were in the range of reference values, the highest β2MU levels were found in the subjects with CdU 〉 10 μg/l. The data confirm that CdU is prevalently influenced by the body burden of metal, but they also suggest that the CdB levels are not influenced solely by the intensity of current exposure but also depend to a considerable degree on the body burden.
