Generation of Cells With Hodgkin’s and Reed-Sternberg Phenotype Through Downregulation of CD99 (Mic2)
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Despite the fact that Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg (H-RS) cells are morphological hallmarks of Hodgkin's disease (HD), the nature of H-RS cells still remains to be resolved. Here we report that downregulation of CD99 (Mic2) leads to the generation of cells with an H-RS phenotype. IM9 and BJAB B-cell lines that were transfected with an antisense CD99 expression construct showed the morphological and immunological...
