Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) infects CD4+ T lymphocytes and various other cell types, including B cells. Since HIV-1 seropositive individuals have high numbers of B cells carrying Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), and are at high risk for development of EBV-associated lymphoproliferative diseases, we studied the mode of HIV-1 infection in four EBV-positive lymphoblastoid B-cell lines (LCLs) as well as some molecular and biological features of the B cells infected by both viruses. We found that LCL cells were successfully infected in vitro by HIV-1, despite the lack of CD4 antigen expression on the cell membrane. LCL cells displayed a persistent, productive, and non-cytopathic infection. Moreover, HIV-1 infection induced reactivation of EBV latent genomes in one cell line. Following HIV-1 infection, LCL cells showed a decrease in B-cell activation markers CD23 and CD39, and an increase in CD10 immature B-cell antigen. Not all cells in each LCL expressed HIV-1 antigens, but all CD10+ cells also co-expressed the HIV-1 envelope protein gp 120. Furthermore, HIV-1 infected LCL cells grew as disperse suspensions, and formed more agar colonies than control, non-HIV-1-infected LCLs. These findings raise the possibility that HIV-1 might play a role in EBV reactivation, and in B-cell lymphoma pathogenesis in AIDS patients.

APO-1 is a cell surface molecule that induces apoptosis when ligated with the monoclonal antibody anti-APO-1. Expression of APO-1 and response to anti-APO-1 was investigated in a number of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive and -negative Burkitt lymphoma (BL) cell lines, in EBV-immortalized lymphoblastoid cell lines, and in cells from fresh BL biopsies. APO-1 was not expressed in EBV-negative cell lines and in EBV-positive BL cell lines with a phenotype corresponding to BL tumor biopsy cells (CD10+, CD21-, CD23-, CD30-, CD39-, CDw70-, CD77+). Accordingly, fresh BL cells obtained from three BL biopsies were APO-1 negative. EBV-positive BL cell lines that had acquired a lymphoblastoid phenotype (CD10-, CD21+, CD23+, CD30+, CD39+, CDw70+, CD77-) upon prolonged in vitro cultivation, as well as normal B-lymphoblastoid cell lines, expressed a high density of APO-1. APO-1 may, therefore, be regarded as a B-cell activation marker. APO-1 expression is not the only prerequisite for anti-APO-1-induced apoptosis because 6 of 7 APO-1-expressing EBV-positive BL cell lines were not sensitive to anti-APO-1, whereas all lymphoblastoid cell lines were killed by anti-APO-1. The sensitivity of lymphoblastoid cell lines to anti-APO-1-mediated apoptosis may open a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of EBV-induced lymphoproliferative lesions in immunocompromised individuals, because these are composed of cells with a lymphoblastoid phenotype.

HIV-related non-hodgkin lymphomas currently occur in 5 to 8% of AIDS patients. AIDS-related lymphomas are high-grade tumors with the morphologic characteristics of either small noncleaved cell lymphomas of the Burkitt type or large cell centroblastic and immunoblastic lymphomas. Mixed features may be found, making classification difficult. Useful methods for characterizing AIDS-related non-hodgkin's lymphomas include immunophenotypic studies using B-cell differentiation and activation antigens (HLA-DR, CD10, CD19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD23, CD38), evaluation of expression of surface immunoglobulins (IgS), activation and proliferation (CD25, CD30, CD71, Ki67), and identification of T-cell markers (CD1, CD2, CD3, CD4, CD5, CD7, CD8). Cases studied were of the B-cell type. Comparison with morphologic features revealed that Burkitt's lymphomas were monoclonal and expressed B-cell markers (CD10, CD19, CD20, CD22, CD38) and surface immunoglobulins, especially IgM kappa. This immunophenotype is similar to that of large cell or centroblastic non-hodgkin's lymphomas, suggesting that Burkitt lymphomas originate from centrofollicular cells. Immunoblastic non-hodgkin's lymphomas were monotypic or polytypic and expressed CD10 and CD38 antigens but not the other B-cell antigens Furthermore, a very large number of cells stained positively with the Ki67 antibody demonstrating that most lymphoma cells were undergoing cycling.

Little is known about the role of tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes (TIL-T) in the pathogenesis of malignant diseases and collaboration between normal and malignant cells has not yet been proved. In the present work, we have investigated whether immune T lymphocytes exist in tumors invaded by B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) or Hodgkin's disease (HD). Therefore, we have studied the reactivity of the CD45RA monoclonal antibody, which discriminates between naive and memory CD4 T lymphocytes. Our results showed far lower percentages of CD4+ CD45RA+ in malignant lymphoma (30.3 +/- 15.0% in B-cell NHL, and 37.4 +/- 18.6% in HD) than in reactive hyperplasia (54.7 +/- 13.2%), leading to the conclusion of an accumulation of immune cells in tumor microenvironment. A further heterogeneity in the relative proportion of naive and memory TIL-T was also observed within lymphoma (range: 11 to 68% in B-cell NHL, 5 to 69% in HD). In B-cell NHL, it was related to histological features, as documented by the Kiel classification (P = .028), and to a stronger extent to cytological characteristics analysed with the Grenoble classification (P less than .0001): class 1 NHL, which are essentially indolent NHL displayed lower naive cells (22.2 +/- 7.4%) than class 3 NHL, which are more aggressive (40.1 +/- 16.1%). Among the monoclonal antibodies (mAb) defining the B-cell clone phenotype or activation state (CD19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD23, CD24, CD5, CD10, CD11a, and Ki67), only CD23 (P = .0003) and Ki67 (P = .0007) revealed statistical association with the percentage of naive CD4 lymphocytes. No correlation could be demonstrated with the proportion of whole TIL-T, activated CD3 DR TIL-T, or CD4 subset.

The pathologic, immunologic, and clinical features of five cases of B-zone small lymphocytic lymphoma (BZSLL), characterized by a nondestructive growth pattern with a selective and complete replacement of the B-zone areas of lymph nodes, were examined. These findings were compared with those of 13 cases of intermediate differentiated lymphoma/mantle zone lymphoma (ILL/MZL) and 20 cases of typical small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia (SLL/CLL). B-zone SLL was characterized histologically by a deceptively benign pattern at a low magnification, the lymph node architecture being substantially preserved, in contrast to the ILL/MZL and SLL/CLL cases, in which complete effacement of the normal architecture usually could be observed. Moreover, in BZSLL the cellular population was rather uniform and lacked either a prolymphocytic component or the small-cleaved lymphoid cells often seen in SLL/CLL and ILL/MZL cases, respectively. The phenotypic profile of the BZSLL clonal cell population studied by the immunoperoxidase method and by single- and double-labeling flow cytometric analyses (SIg+, CD19+, CD20+, CD21+, CD22+, CD24+, CD35+, CD37+, CD74+, CD45+, CD45R+, MB2+, HLA-DR+, Leu-8+, CD9+/-, CDw75+/-, CD5-/+, CD23-/+, CD10-, FMC7-, PCA-1-, CD25-, CD38-, CD43-, CD3-) appeared to be fairly homogeneous and sufficiently distinct from that of ILL/MZL, based on the absence of FMC7 and CD38 molecules, and from that of SLL/CLL due to significantly stronger expression of SIgs (P less than .05), the higher reactivity with anti-CD9 and -CD22 antibodies (P less than .05), the lower reactivity with anti-CD5 and -CD23 antibodies (P less than .05), and the absence of CD25 determinants. Several clinical features of patients with BZSLL, including age group, advanced stage disease, and high frequency of bone marrow and peripheral blood involvement, were similar to those found in the other patients with ILL/MZL and SLL/CLL, but none of the BZSLL patients had an absolute lymphocyte count higher than 15.0 x 10(9)/L at presentation. Based on the architectural pattern, cytologic features, immunophenotypes, and hematologic findings, we conclude that BZSLL is an unusual variant of SLL that is primary in the lymph nodes and should be distinguished from ILL/MZL and CLL.

The circulating lymphocytes of 88 consecutive patients following autologous, conventional, or T-cell depleted bone marrow transplantation were serially analyzed for B-cell surface antigen expression and function. In the majority of patients, except for those who developed chronic graft-versus-host disease, the number of circulating CD20+ B cell normalized by the fourth posttransplant month. The earliest detectable B cells normally expressed HLA-DR, CD19, surface immunoglobulin (slg), CD21, Leu-8, and lacked expression of CD10 (CALLA). In addition, the circulating B cells expressed CD1c, CD38, CD5, and CD23 for the first year following transplant, antigens that are normally expressed on a small percentage of circulating B cells in normal adults, but highly expressed on cord blood B cells. Similar to cord blood B cells, patient B cells isolated during the first year following transplant, proliferated normally to Staphylococcus aureus Cowan strain I (SAC), and produced IgM, but minimal or no IgG when stimulated with pokeweed mitogen and SAC, unlike normal adult B cells that produce both. The similar phenotype and function of posttransplant and cord blood B cells, and their similar rate of decline in patients and normal children adds further evidence to support the hypothesis that B-cell differentiation posttransplant is recapitulating normal B-cell ontogeny.

In order to compare primary gastro-intestinal (GI) B-cell lymphomas histomorphologically and immunophenotypically with orthologous steps of B-cell differentiation within the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) of the GI tract, a comprehensive panel of well characterized leucocyte differentiation antigens was composed. It comprised immunoglobulin constituents CD5, CD10, CD11c, CD20, CD23, CD24, CD30, CDw32, CD38, CD39, CDw75, CD76, and vimentin. These antigens yield characteristic immunoprofiles for the following B-cell compartments of the MALT, per se closely linked to cytologically distinct B-cell phenotypes: mantle zone (MZ), extrafollicular compartment (EF), follicle center (FC), and plasma-cell compartment (PC). An unselected series of 31 MALT B lymphomas (13 of low and 18 of high grade malignancy) was classified histologically in routine preparations and subsequently characterized immunohistochemically using fresh frozen tissue, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the antigen panel listed above, and an indirect immunoperoxidase method. The final classification considered both morphology and immunoprofile of tumor cells. Ten tumors were "typical" in both respects: 2 closely corresponded to MZ, 5 to EF, 2 to FC and 1 to PC. The remaining 21 cases were characterized as "atypical" because of anaplastic cytology and/or abnormal co-expression and/or loss of antigens. A hybrid EF/FC phenotype was most frequently observed together with centrocyte-like or centrocytic anaplastic cytology of tumor cells. We conclude that MALT B-cell neoplasia comprises a broad spectrum of histo- and immunophenotypes ranging from well differentiated forms closely mimicking normal B-cell development to highly abnormal tumors which cannot be subclassified.

The lymphoid tissue of the human fetal spleen at various stages of gestation was studied on frozen and paraffin sections and with two-colour flow cytometry. On the sections scattered lymphoid cells and perivascular lymphoid aggregates were found starting from the 15th week of gestation. CD3, CD5, CD19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD24, CD35, CD38-positive cells were observed. No CD10- and CD23-positive cells were detected. Flow cytometry showed a prevalence of B-lymphocytes. The majority of them expressed CD5 antigen. These cells were also IgM/D, CD19, CD20, CD21, CD22, CD24 and CD35-positive. Only few of them expressed CD10 and CD23. A similar phenotype was found in human cord blood. By contrast, in adult spleens CD5 B-cells never exceeded 8% of the B-cells. The comparison between CD5 B-cells of fetal spleen and CD5 B neoplastic cells of 72 cases of small B-cell lymphomas showed that CD23, which was usually expressed by a high percentage of the neoplastic cells, particularly in B-CLL, was not displayed by the majority of the CD5 non neoplastic cells. The reverse was shown by CD35. These findings suggest that different states of activation distinguish the normal CD5 B-cells from their malignant counterpart.

A number of markers which have been proposed to identify B cell subsets have been reassessed on human B cells, using an immunofluorescence technique optimized for sensitivity and an analytical mode which yields histograms showing the distribution of fluorescence on B cells. The results show that CD38, CD22, CD23, FMC6, and anti-IgM react with all blood B cells, albeit with a broad and complex distribution of fluorescence. CD5, CD9, CD10, CD43, and IgD can be regarded as subset markers since they give clearly bimodal distributions of fluorescence intensity. CD5 staining showed at least three populations, with a small number (3-5 per cent) of cells brightly stained and a population of variable size staining weakly. No clearly defined populations were seen with CD45R0, although staining was slightly above background. An antibody against the LAM-1 molecule reacted with all blood B cells. Expression of the IL-2 receptor p55 chain (CD25) was clearly bimodal, whereas the p75 chain was essentially negative on B cells. The relationship between subsets in blood and subsets in tissue, and between subsets identified by different markers in blood, is discussed.

We here describe 13 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and a translocation t(11:14)(q13:q32). They were part of a series of 163 patients with NHL and an abnormal karyotype, serially referred to our institution between January 1984 and 1990. Patients with t(11:14) seem to present several common and interesting features. Males are more frequently affected than females, and old people more than young. They present at diagnosis with advanced disease and usually show involvement of epithelium and bone marrow. With respect to histologic diagnoses, these patients are usually considered to be of low-grade malignancies. However, most of them do very poorly, have short complete remission and frequent relapses whatever the treatment. As a whole, the median survival rate is rather low. The cytologic, histologic as well as the immunologic patterns tend to be uniform: tumours are composed of small cells and display features of mantle zone/intermediate lymphocytic lymphoma. They express high IgM and low IgD levels and more commonly bear Ig lambda light chains. They also express all pan-B antigens (except CD23) as well as the CD5 antigen, but usually lack the CD10. According to these characteristics, these tumours could be placed in between lymphocytic lymphomas (which usually express CD23) and follicular lymphomas (which commonly lack IgD and CD5 and bear CD10 as well as a t(14:18).
