Clonal Deleterious Mutations in the Iκbα Gene in the Malignant Cells in Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Abstract excerpt

Members of the nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB family of transcription factors play a crucial role in cellular activation, immune responses, and oncogenesis. In most cells, they are kept inactive in the cytosol by complex formation with members of the inhibitor of NF-kappaB (IkappaB) family, whose degradation activates NF-kappaB in response to diverse stimuli. In Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), high constitutive nuclear...
