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-containi

## 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
## Abstract Hodgkin and Reed‐Sternberg (HRS) cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) show genotypic features of germinal centre‐derived B‐cells in most cases. Nevertheless, these cells typically lack expression of B‐cell antigens. Previous studies have suggested that plasma cell differentiation m
