Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) share many biological and clinical characteristics supporting a common pathogenetic pathway. Interleukin (IL)-13 has an important pathophysiological role in HL. In this study, we asked the question of whether IL-13 is a major contributor to the observed difference in features of inflammation between HL and PMBCL. MATERIALS AND...
