In eight cases of Hodgkin's disease of various types, Ig was found within approximately one-third of the RS and HD cells. The Ig within each RS and HD cell consisted of gamma heavy chains and both k and lambda light chains. The most probable origin of the Ig would appear to be uptake of IgG-containing immune complexes. The presence of both types of light chain in individual RS and HD cells is inconsistent with an origin of these types of cell from B lymphocytes.

## Abstract There has been substantial advances in our understanding of the nature of the Hodgkin/Reed–Sternberg (H/RS) cell in recent years. There is now compelling evidence that the H/RS cells in the vast majority of cases of classical Hodgkin's disease (CHD) are derived from the B‐cell lineage a
## Abstract Hodgkin's and Reed/Sternberg (HRS) cells, the tumour cells in classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), represent transformed B cells in nearly all cases. The detection of destructive somatic mutations in the rearranged immunoglobulin (Ig) genes of HRS cells in classical HL indicated that they
## Abstract Hodgkin and Reed‐Sternberg (H/RS) cells are characterized by chromosomal instability. Nevertheless, neither specific nor consistent chromosomal alterations could be characterized in H/RS cells. Microsatellite instability (MSI) is another form of genomic instability but its role in the p
