Frequent Expression of the B-Cell–Specific Activator Protein in Reed-Sternberg Cells of Classical Hodgkin’s Disease Provides Further Evidence for Its B-Cell Origin
1 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
The neoplastic cells of classical Hodgkin's disease (cHD), ie, Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells (HRS cells), contain clonally rearranged Ig genes, but are dissimilar to normal B cells in that they mostly do not display B-cell antigens such as CD20 or CD19. The transcription factor B-cell-specific activator protein (BSAP) influences numerous B-cell functions such as B-cell antigen expression, Ig expression, and...
