Abstract excerpt
Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells represent the malignant cells in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Because their immunophenotype cannot be attributed to any normal cell of the hematopoietic lineage, the origin of HRS cells has been controversially discussed, but molecular studies established their derivation from germinal center B cells. In this study, gene expression profiles generated by serial analysis...
