Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Reed-Sternberg cells in classic Hodgkin lymphoma are enigmatic and difficult to study because they are so sparse. Tissue microdissection allows for the isolation of single Reed-Sternberg cells. Isolated Reed-Sternberg cells show clonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangement indicating a B-cell origin. Rarely, Reed-Sternberg cells in classic Hodgkin lymphoma express T-cell antigens, suggesting a possible...
