To determine the significance of the t(2;5)(p23;q35) translocation in nodal and extranodal anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), we performed cytogenetic, molecular genetic, and immunohistochemical analyses of tumor tissues from 11 patients with CD30ฯฉ ALCL. Three of five patients with nodal ALCL ha

Our study was designed to compare cellular kinetic parameters of classical Hodgkin's disease (HD) with those of anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCL-C, common type; and ALCL-HL, Hodgkin's like), with a particular focus on the G 2 /M transition. These disorders share some phenotypic properties, e.g.
We thank Drs Ashton-Key and Isaacson for their interest in our paper. In a similar study on CD45 immunostaining of TCRBCL and LPHD, they found L+H cells positive for either CD45RA (4KB5, 5/12) or CD45RO (UCHL1,7/12). In our series, the L+H cells were found to be 4KB5-as well as UCHL1-negative in 8/1
Identifying the various genetic alterations that contribute to lymphomagenesis is key to our improved understanding of the biological behavior of the disease. Recently, we and others have defined a tumor suppressor region on the short arm of chromosome 9 harboring a cluster of genes, including MTAP,
