A human monoclonal antibody (mAb), designated mNKES, was generated by fusing B cells isolated from an enlarged cervical lymph node of a patient with a carotid body tumor (CBT), with human myeloma cell line KR-12 (6TG). The reactivity of mNKES was tested by the indirect immunofluorescence method. The antigen defined by mNKES was expressed on Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines Raji, Daudi, and Ramos and on B lymphoblastoid cell line IM-9. In addition, mNKES reacted with T cells stimulated with recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) obtained from normal healthy donors. However, mNKES did not react with normal resting human T, B, or adherent cells (monocytes/macrophages). When the reactivity of mNKES and mouse mAbs recognizing the human adhesion-associated antigen (CD10, CD11a, CD11b, CD11c, CD14, CD16, CD18, CD23, CD28, CD29, CD31, CD43, CD44, CD45RA, CD50, CD54, CD58, CD80, CD102, CD106, and HLA class I, and HLA class II antigen) with various cell lines was compared, mNKES reactivity was found to be unique, not resembling that of any of these mouse mAbs. Interestingly, mNKES specifically and rapidly (within 2 hr) induced homotypic cell aggregation of IM-9 cells. This mNKES-induced cell aggregation was completely blocked by the addition of EDTA and when incubated at 4 degrees C. The mAbs reactive with CD11a/CD18 (leukocyte function-associated antigen-1; LFA-1) and CD54 (intercellular adhesion molecule-1; ICAM-1) completely blocked the IM-9 cell aggregation induced by mNKES, and induction of IM-9 cell aggregation by mNKES was significantly blocked in the presence of the protein kinase C inhibitors sphingosine and H-7 and completely blocked by cytochalasin B and cytochalasin D, which inhibit microfilament formation. Regarding biological function, IM-9 cells bearing surface IgG (sIgG) effectively promoted IgG-secreting activity underlying the homotypic cell aggregation induced by mNKES. The surface antigen recognized by mNKES has a molecular size of about 55 kDa, as determined by immunoblotting analysis. These findings indicate that mNKES recognizes a novel adhesion-associated antigen distinct from any previously reported adhesion-associated antigens in terms of pattern of cellular distribution and biological function and that mNKES is the first human mAb found that rapidly induces homotypic cell aggregation and effectively promotes the IgG-secreting activity of human B lymphoblastoid cell line IM-9.

Epstein-Barr-virus-associated posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease ranges from transient lymphadenitis to aggressive lymphoma. This study characterizes an in vitro model to study the pathogenesis of this disease with a cell culture system. Five B-cell lines derived from posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease tissue were characterized with regard to immunophenotype, karyotype, molecular genetics, cytokine production, and growth regulation. All cell lines expressed CD19, CD21, CD22, CD43, and CD77, but not CD10 antigens. Immunoglobulin light chain restriction was seen in four of five cell lines, and cytogenetic abnormalities were demonstrable in three of the five. Cells proliferating in culture contained multiple Epstein-Barr virus episomes and showed lytic viral replication. All cell lines produced tumor necrosis factor-beta and interleukin-10 without evidence of autocrine growth regulatory loops involving these cytokines. No evidence of IL-1 alpha, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5 or IL-6 production was found by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Adding 500 U IFN-alpha/ml to the culture medium resulted in 30% inhibition of [3H]thymidine incorporation.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas are indolent neoplasms which tend to remain localized for a long time before spreading. We describe here the case of a 36-year-old woman with a low-grade MALT lymphoma involving the lung, stomach, lingual tonsil, and bone marrow at the time of diagnosis. The clonal origin of the pulmonary and bone marrow neoplastic infiltrates was assessed by means of gene rearrangement analysis. All of the involved sites were infiltrated by centrocyte- and monocytoid-like cells expressing the B-cell-associated antigens CD19 and CD20 and showed IgM lambda chain restriction; no CD5, CD10, or CD43 expression was detectable. As the patient had a history of recurrent bronchitis, and computed tomography performed 3 years before the lymphoma diagnosis had already revealed a lesion of the left lung, we conclude that the present case probably represents a pulmonary low-grade MALT lymphoma characterized by an early and unusual involvement of different mucosal sites and bone marrow.

A 72-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and leukocytosis. His WBC count was 54,300/microliter, with 89.6% atypical lymphocytes two to three times the diameter of red blood cells, cleaved nuclei, and one or two nucleoli. A lymph node specimen revealed a vaguely nodular pattern, and the diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) was made. The lymphoma cells appeared smaller and more mature than the leukemic cells. The phenotype of the peripheral blood and the lymph node cells was CD5+ CD10- CD19+ CD20+ and the same rearranged JH bands were detected, suggesting that their lymphocytes were of the same origin. In addition, the phenotype of the leukemic cells was CD23+ CD38+ CD43- CD44+ FMC-7+ micro+ chi+. Cytogenetic analysis revealed complex anomalies but not t(11; 14). Cyclin D1 protein was not detected. Because the lymphocyte morphology of the peripheral blood and lymph nodes was discordant, we speculated that variant large cells had proliferated mainly in the peripheral blood. The patient achieved a partial response after 6 courses of CHOP regimen, and was then placed on a COP regimen. He seemed to have MCL, but the following findings were unusual: marked lymphocytosis at initial presentation, discordant morphology, CD5+ CD10- CD23+ CD43- phenotype with neither t(11; 14) or cyclin D1 over-expression.

Diagnosis of small B-cell lymphomas is sometimes difficult without fresh tissue for flow cytometry (FC) or immunohistochemistry (IHC). Therefore, we examined the usefulness of a paraffin section IHC panel consisting of antibodies to CD5, CD10, CD20, CD23, CD43, and cyclin D1. We tested 55 formalin-fixed small B-cell lymphomas, including 16 small lymphocytic lymphomas (SLLs), 10 mantle cell lymphomas (MCLs), 25 follicle center lymphomas (FCLs), and 4 mantle zone lymphomas (MZLs). Seventeen cases had B5-fixed sections that were stained in the same manner. The findings were correlated with FC immunophenotyping when available. All of the SLLs and 90% of the MCLs expressed CD5 by IHC, with occasional weak expression in some MCLs. All of the FCLs and MZLs lacked CD5 expression. These results were comparable to those obtained by FC. CD43 expression was seen in 100% of the SLLs, 90% of the MCLs, and 75% of the MZLs. CD23 expression was seen in 94% of the SLL; of these, 100% also showed expression of CD23 by FC. Cyclin D1 was detected in all of the MCLs by IHC but also in 3 of the 16 SLLs. CD23 was absent in all of the MCLs. CD10 expression was present in 21 (95%) of 22 FCLs. All of the 17 cases fixed in B5 showed a decreased immunoreactivity for CD5 in the neoplastic cells. In contrast, CD10 immunoreactivity was judged better in B5-fixed sections. We concluded, therefore, that anti-CD5 and -CD10 were useful tools in the differential diagnosis of B-cell lymphomas of small lymphocytes and that a paraffin-section IHC panel consisting of antibodies to CD5, CD10, CD20, CD23, CD43, and cyclin D1 was a useful ancillary technique that compared favorably with FC.

Mantle cell lymphomas comprise 2 to 8% of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in the United States. They occur in older adults with a distinct male predominance, who present with generalized lymphadenopathy, and often have disseminated disease at the time of diagnosis. Pathologically, mantle cell lymphomas are characterized by a proliferation of small lymphocytes, with irregular nuclei, clumped chromatin, and sparse cytoplasm that can grow in nodular or diffuse patterns in lymph nodes, that localize to the splenic white pulp and that produce interstitial, paratrabecular, and intertrabecular lymphoid aggregates in the bone marrow. Phenotypically, mantle cell lymphomas are B cell neoplasms that express pan B cell lineage antigens, CD5 and CD43, and that are negative for CD10 and CD23. On a genetic level, many cases of mantle cell lymphomas have the t(11;14)(q13;q32) that causes overexpression of cyclin-D1, a protein that can be demonstrated by immunohistochemistry in many examples of mantle cell lymphoma and that can be exploited diagnostically to distinguish mantle cell lymphomas from other low-grade B cell lymphoproliferative disorders. The differential diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma includes small B cell lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, nodal, extranodal, and splenic marginal zone lymphomas, and follicular small cleaved cell lymphoma. In most instances, these disorders can be separated from one another by morphology, distinctive immunophenotypic profiles, and genetic features.

CD43 expression on B cells is an immunophenotypic feature suggestive of malignancy. In the light of its diagnostic importance, we performed a comprehensive survey of CD43 expression in various types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and determined the frequency of its expression in routinely fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. Tissue sections in 742 cases of NHL, pretreated by the heat-induced epitope retrieval technique, were immunostained using an anti-CD43 antibody. Three categories of CD43 positivity were found: (1) more than 90% of T-cell lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, B-cell small lymphocytic lymphoma, and Burkitt lymphoma cases were positive; (2) 20% to 40% of nodal and extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt-like B-cell lymphoma, and lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma cases were positive; and (3) 0% to 6% of primary splenic MZL and various types of follicular lymphoma cases were positive. Most CD43+ follicular lymphomas were predominantly large cell type with focally diffuse areas; their follicular center cell origin in 4 of 8 cases was supported by the presence of CD10 immunoreactivity and/or t(14;18) fusion gene product. CD43 is frequently detectable in a subset of B-NHL, and, thus, it seems to be a highly sensitive marker for these tumors. CD43 also may be a useful marker for classifying B-cell NHLs by virtue of its differential expression in these tumors.

Low grade B-cell lymphomas comprise several well defined, clinically and immunophenotypically distinct disease entities. Composite lymphomas showing phenotypic characteristics of more than one of these tumor subtypes in the same site are rare, and both common and separate clonal origins of the two tumor parts have been reported for cases studied by molecular methods. We describe the detailed immunohistochemical and molecular findings in three cases with features of composite low grade B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL). All three neoplasms contained morphologically distinct but interwoven compartments of different cell types, which exhibited discordant expression of several markers, including CD5, CD10, CD43, and cyclin D1. According to their morphology and phenotypes, they were classified as mantle cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma (Case 1), follicular lymphoma and small lymphocytic lymphoma (Case 2), and mantle cell lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (Case 3). PCR analysis of DNA obtained from whole tissue sections failed to reveal evidence for biclonality in any of the cases. We therefore isolated cell populations with different antigen expression patterns by laser capture microdissection and analyzed them by polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of clonal immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangements and oncogene rearrangements. Sequence analysis revealed unrelated clonal rearrangements in each of the two tumor parts in all three cases, suggesting distinct clonal origins. In addition, Case 1 showed a bcl-2 rearrangement present only in the follicular lymphoma part. Our findings suggest that low grade B-NHL with two distinct morphological and immunophenotypic patterns in the same anatomical site are frequently biclonal. This is in keeping with current classification schemes, which recognize subtypes of low grade B-NHL as separate disease entities. Furthermore, our analysis demonstrates the power of laser capture microdissection in revealing molecular microheterogeneity in complex neoplasms.

We report 5 cases of intravascular lymphoma (IVL) initially diagnosed by bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. Each patient had generalized symptoms; 1 also had neurologic deficits. CBC counts revealed anemia (4 patients), thrombocytopenia (4 patients), or mild leukopenia (1 patient). The bone marrow biopsy specimen was diagnostic in each case. Lymphoma cells were present in small groups or single file in sinusoids (in 1 patient, sinusoids were distended markedly by IVL) and were detected in bone marrow aspirate smears (4 patients) and peripheral blood smears (all patients). Immunohistochemical studies demonstrated that every neoplasm was of B-cell lineage, CD20+, positive for other B-cell antigens, and CD3- or CD43-. Immunophenotypic studies revealed at least 2, and possibly 3, distinct immunophenotypic groups of B-cell IVL: CD20+ CD5+ (3 neoplasms), CD20+ CD5- CD10+ (1 neoplasm), and CD20+ CD5- CD10 unknown (1 neoplasm). B-cell IVL may be detected by morphologic examination of peripheral blood and bone marrow, and involvement of these sites may be more common than is reported in the literature. Immunophenotypic studies are helpful in establishing the diagnosis and suggest that B-cell IVL is a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that may arise from more than 1 normal B-cell precursor.

The immunoperoxidase technique was used with antibodies against B-cell-associated antigens, including CD20, CD79a, CD10, CD23, CD43, cyclin D1, bcl-2, and kappa and lambda immunoglobulin light chains on formalin-fixed and B5-fixed tissue sections of follicular, small lymphocytic, mantle cell, and marginal zone lymphomas. Results obtained with paraffin section immunohistochemistry for CD20, CD10, CD23, and kappa and lambda light chains were compared with results obtained with flow cytometry or frozen section immunohistochemistry. Cells in all of the lymphoma types were positive for CD20 and CD79a. The antigenic profiles of the B-cell lymphomas demonstrated in paraffin sections were lymphoma type distinctive. Intrafollicular lymphocytes in follicular lymphomas were positive for CD10 and bcl-2. Small lymphocytic lymphomas expressed CD43 and CD23 and were negative for CD10 and cyclin D1. Mantle cell lymphomas characteristically expressed CD43 and cyclin D1 and were negative for CD23 and CD10. Marginal zone lymphomas were negative for CD23, CD10, and cyclin D1. All of the antibodies performed better in B5-fixed tissues, but formalin-fixed tissue immunophenotypes were always similar to those obtained on the B5-fixed tissue. These results were possible using well-fixed tissue, various antigen retrieval strategies, paraffin section reactive primary antibodies, and sensitive detection systems. Paraffin section immunohistochemistry on sections of routinely fixed tissue can be used similarly to flow cytometry and frozen section immunohistochemistry when classifying the lymphomas of small B lymphocytes.
