Evidence for local immunosuppression and demonstration of c‐myc amplification in pyothorax‐associated lymphoma
19 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Pyothorax-associated lymphoma (PAL) develops in the pleural cavity of patients with a long history of pyothorax. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is also involved in PAL, similar to lymphomas in immunodeficient patients. Here we examined T-lymphocyte subsets as well as c-myc and REL gene amplification in PAL tissues. METHODS AND RESULTS: We determined the number and distribution of CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes, to...
