Abstract excerpt
Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (H/RS) cells in classical Hodgkin's disease (cHD) are thought to be derived from preapoptotic germinal center B cells. However, little is known about the transforming events rescuing the precursor of the H/RS cells from apoptosis. Given the importance of CD95 (Apo-1/Fas)-mediated apoptosis for negative selection within the germinal center, single micromanipulated H/RS cells from 10...
