Correlation of content of B cells and Leu7-positive cells with subtype and stage in lymphocyte predominance type Hodgkin's disease

J Cancer Res Clin Oncol. 1988;114(4):405-10. doi: 10.1007/BF02128186.

Abstract

Cases of lymphocyte predominance type Hodgkin's disease were investigated using immunohistochemical methods and compared for morphological subtype and clinical stage. Cases of nodular paragranuloma showed a high, diffuse paragranuloma a moderate, and the mixed type a low, content of B cells. There was no significant correlation between B cell content and clinical stage. The number of Leu7+ cells was significantly increased in stage I of nodular paragranuloma. Hodgkin cells did not react with the CD15 antibody in most cases of paragranuloma but showed reactivity in the mixed type.
