چکیده
and a 5% level of significance, seven different associations appear to be valid. However, when the p value is corrected by multiplying it by the number of factors investigated, only the association of HL-A12 with lymphocytic lymphomas and the 4c antigen with chronic lymphatic leukemia appear to be significant. The previously described increased incidence of W5 and 4c in Hodgkin's disease was not found in the population

HL-A Antigens in Solid Tumors1
The possible association of 23 HL-A specificities with susceptibility to cancer was investigated in a total of 1996 patients and 906 controls. Cancer patients whose cancers were subdivided into the broad location categories of bladder, breast, cervix, colon, endometrium, lung, lymphoma, mela noma, ovary, prostate, rectum, sarcoma, and stomach showed significant departure in some HL-A antigen fr...
متن کاملLymphoid malignancies in U.S. Asians: incidence rate differences by birthplace and acculturation.
BACKGROUND Malignancies of the lymphoid cells, including non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), HL, and multiple myeloma, occur at much lower rates in Asians than other racial/ethnic groups in the United States. It remains unclear whether these deficits are explained by genetic or environmental factors. To better understand environmental contributions, we examined incidence patterns of lymphoid malignanc...
متن کاملHodgkin's lymphoma associated T-cells exhibit a transcription factor profile consistent with distinct lymphoid compartments.
BACKGROUND Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is characterised by an ineffective immune response that is predominantly mediated by CD4+ T-cells. AIMS To analyse the expression of the key regulatory T-cell transcription factors (TFs) in the T-cells of HL involved tissues in order to assess the nature of the T(H) immune response in HL. METHODS AND RESULTS By immunohistochemistry, GATA3 was strongly and ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of HL-A variants in cultured human lymphoid cells.
We have developed a procedure for immune selection in an established human lymphoid cell line based on HL-A, the major human histocompatibility locus. After a single brief exposure to selective conditions, HL-A2 variant clones were isolated from an HL-A2/HL-A3 heterozygous line. The variant clones occurred at a frequency of about 1 x 10(-6). The variant phenotype was stable during prolonged gro...
متن کاملInteraction of Histocompatibility (hl-a) Antibodies and Complement with Synchronized Human Lymphoid Cells in Continuous Culture
The interaction of histocompatibility (HL-A) antibodies and complement with synchronized human lymphoid cells in continuous culture has been investigated. The sensitivity of cultured lymphoid cells to HL-A antibody-mediated lysis in the cytotoxic test, the extent of activation of the complement system, the degree to which labeled complement components are bound, and the ability of these cells t...
