Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an inhibitory cytokine produced by various cell types. It exhibits strong sequence homology to BCRF-1 (viral IL-10, vIL-10), an open reading frame in the Epstein-Barr-virus (EBV) genome. Using in situ hybridization (ISH), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemi
Epstein–Barr virus is present in neoplastic cytotoxic T cells in extranodal, and predominantly in B cells in nodal T non-Hodgkin lymphomas

Background EBV immortalized B-cells can be used as antigen presenting cells (APC) to stimulate speci®c T-cell responses. Mini-Epstein-Barr virus (mini-EBV) plasmids contain all functional elements of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) necessary to immortalize B-cells in vitro. These immortalized B-cells are i
Whether particular Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) strains are preferentially selected in malignant diseases remains controversial. Assessment of the importance of strain variation in the pathogenicity of EBV has been hampered principally by the lack of accurate data on the prevalence of virus variants in
This article describes the study of the functional relationship between auto-tumor-reactive CD4 + T cell clones (TCC) and autologous malignant B cells. Four auto-tumor-reactive CD4 + TCC were derived from tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TIL-T) from a freshly isolated human follicular lymphoma by t
The LAZ3(BCL6) gene on chromosome band 3q27 is nonrandomly disrupted in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) by chromosomal translocations clustered within a 3.3-kb MTC (major translocation cluster) located between the two first noncoding exons. These translocations generally result in the expression
