Molecular genetic analysis of rearranging antigen-receptor genes in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas has revealed the clonality and lineage in the majority of cases. In an analogous approach, we sought to apply gene rearrangement analysis to Hodgkin's disease to understand better the clonality and origin of
In an initial survey of 16 cases of Hodgkin's disease, tissues from one case of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease, a recurrence with numerous Reed-Sternberg cells, demonstrated faint heavy-and light-chain immunoglobulin gene rearrangements. Analysis of seven additional similar cases with extremel
Twenty-two cases of Hodgkin's disease (HD), representing the 4 different subclasses, were studied by immunophenotypic and immunogenotypic analysis. Quantitative immunophenotypic analysis o i HD infiltrates showed a predominance of CD3-positive T cells in all subtypes except the lymphocytic depletion
