The importance of genetic factors in the etiology of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is
suggested by case-control and cohort studies. Most previous studies have been too small to …

Hodgkin's disease is one of the commonest cancers of older children and adolescents, but
little is known about its aetiology. Recent data, particularly in descriptive epidemiology and …

In 40% of cases of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) latency-II
antigens [EBV nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1)/latent membrane protein (LMP) 1/LMP2A] are …

Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) is associated with around one-third of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL)
cases and this association is believed to be causal. In these EBV-associated cases, there is …

Genes encoding the HLAs2 are the most polymorphic known in humans (1, 2). HLA class I
molecules (HLA-A,-B,-C) present foreign antigenic peptides to CTLs and play a crucial role …

Homozygosity at human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loci might lead to reduced
immunosurveillance and increased disease risk, including cancers caused by infection or of …

The development of cancer is a multistep process that is characterized by the accumulation
of genetic alterations in cells and changed cellular interactions with the surrounding healthy …

Non-classical human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-G class I molecules have an important role in
tumor immune escape mechanisms. We investigated HLA-G expression in lymphonode …

It has been suggested in a number of studies that susceptibility to adult Hodgkin's disease
(HD) is influenced by the HLA class II region, and specifically by alleles at the HLA-DPB1 …

The malignant cells of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (cHL), Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg
(HRS) cells, appear to be derived from germinal center (GC) B cells in most cases of the …
