The clinicopathological features, the immunophenotype, and the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated genomes and gene products were examined in 17 cases of CD30+ anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) of B-cell type. Microscopically, the 17 cases were divided into ten cases of the monomorph

โฆ Synopsis
C.B-I7 SCID mice were inoculated with human peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) from normal Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)seropositive and -seronegative donors. Confirmation of a functioning human immune response was demonstrated by the detection of human antibody after inoculation with rotavirus, tetanus toxoid, or EBV. One group of animals inoculated with PBLs from an EBV-seropositive donor developed immunoblastic lymphomas approximately 9 weeks after transplantation. Confirmation of the species and sex of origin of the tumor cells was established using a spontaneous cell line prepared from the tumor. At passage I, the tumor-cell line (AGTI) showed 15% of the metaphases with a translocation involving chromosomes 5 and 14. A lymphoblastoid cell line (AGLCL) established from the

Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) and Hodgkin's disease (HD) occurring in developing regions are frequently associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and have a high incidence in childhood. Recent genotyping studies indicate that the tumour cells of both neoplasms represent B cells that contain somat
