## Abstract Interleukin‐12 (IL‐12) is a disulfide‐linked p40‐p35 heterodimeric cytokine and plays a key role in linking innate cellular immunity to an adaptive Th1 response against pathogens and tumor cells and in counteracting a Th2 immune response. The pathogenesis of Hodgkin's disease (HD) is pa

Abstract
Hodgkin's disease (HD) is characterized by the accumulation of functionally anergic T cells in the vicinity of the malignant Hodgkin/Reed‐Sternberg (H/RS) cells. To revert cellular anergy against H/RS cells, we generated an anti‐CD30‐antibody‐interleukin‐(IL)‐2 and an anti‐CD30‐antibody‐IL12 fusion protein that target IL2 and IL12, respectively, specifically to CD30^+^ H/RS cells. Both antibody‐cytokine fusion proteins act cooperatively in the activation of resting NK cells, the induction of IFN‐gγ secretion and enhanced target cell lysis. The cooperative activity of the targeted cytokines suggests that the application of both antibody‐cytokine fusion proteins may be particularly suitable for the specific immunotherapy of Hodgkin's lymphoma. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract The clinical and pathological features of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) mirror an abnormal tissue and systemic immune response due to the production of a variety of cytokines and chemokines by the malignant Hodgkin‐Reed‐Sternberg (H‐RS) cells and/or surrounding reactive cells. Here,
Interferon-gamma (IFN-y) treatment or in vivo passage of the murine YAC-I lymphoma resulted in reduced sensitivity to in vitro lysis by syngeneic murine spleen cells cultured in rll-2 (LAK-cells). IFN-y treatment also rendered the murine B16 melanoma less sensitive to lysis by syngeneic LAK cells, w
