Clonal composition and differentiation stage of human CD30+ B cells in reactive lymph nodes

Abstract excerpt

Introduction Normal CD30+ B cells represent a distinct B-cell differentiation stage with features of strong activation. We lack an in depth understanding of these cells, because they are not present in peripheral blood and are typically very rare in reactive lymphoid organs. CD30+ B cells have been discussed as a potential precursor population for the malignant CD30+ Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells in classical...
