Abstract Objective In the sanroque mouse model of lupus, pathologic germinal centers (GCs) arise due to increased numbers follicular helper T (Tfh) cells, resulting in high‐affinity anti–double‐stranded DNA antibodies that cause end‐organ inflammation, such as glomerulonephritis. The purpose this study was examine hypothesis pathway could account for a subset patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods An expansion Tfh cells is causal, and therefore consistent, component...
The transcription factor FOXP3 plays a key role in CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cell function and represents specific marker for these cells. Despite its strong association with function, humans little is known about the frequency of cells that express protein nor distribution vivo. Here we report characterization seven anti-FOXP3 monoclonal antibodies enabling detection endogenous human by flow cytometry immunohistochemistry.

Pheochromocytomas (PCC) and paragangliomas (PGL) are genetically heterogeneous neural crest-derived neoplasms. Recently we identified germline mutations in a new tumor suppressor susceptibility gene, MAX (MYC-associated factor X), which predisposes carriers to PCC. How contribute PCC/PGL associated phenotypes remain unclear. This study aimed examine the prevalence phenotypic features of somatic PCC/PGL.We sequenced 1,694 patients with PCC or PGL (without other major genes) from 17...
Tumor microenvironment influences the behavior of follicular lymphoma (FL), although specific cell subsets involved are not well known. The aim this study was to determine impact programmed death 1 (PD-1) -positive inhibitory immunoregulatory lymphoid cells in clinicobiologic features and outcome patients with FL.We examined samples from 100 (53 men 47 women; median age, 54 years) at diagnosis, as 32 first relapse, a recently generated monoclonal antibody against PD-1. were quantified using...
Abstract The mechanisms triggering metastasis in pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma are unknown, hindering therapeutic options for patients with metastatic tumors (mPPGL). Herein we show by genomic profiling of a large cohort mPPGLs that high mutational load, microsatellite instability and somatic copy-number alteration burden associated ATRX / TERT alterations suitable prognostic markers. Transcriptomic analysis defines the signaling networks involved acquisition competence establishes gene...
Abstract The historical lack of preclinical models reflecting the genetic heterogeneity multiple myeloma (MM) hampers advance therapeutic discoveries. To circumvent this limitation, we screened mice engineered to carry eight MM lesions (NF-κB, KRAS, MYC, TP53, BCL2, cyclin D1, MMSET/NSD2 and c-MAF) combinatorially activated in B lymphocytes following T cell-driven immunization. Fifteen genetically diverse developed bone marrow (BM) tumors fulfilling pathogenesis. Integrative analyses ∼500...
Routine sections of normal and pathological samples fixed in 10 per cent buffered formalin or B5, including EDTA-decalcified bone-marrow biopsies, were tested with 61 antibodies following heating three different fluids: 0·01 m citrate buffer (pH 6·0), 0·1 Tris–HCl 8·0), 1 mm EDTA–NaOH solution 8·0). The underwent either cycles microwave treatment (5 min each) pressure cooking for 1–2 min. alkaline phosphatase/anti-alkaline phosphatase (APAAP) technique was used as the standard detection...
Cutaneous CD4 small/medium-sized pleomorphic T-cell lymphoma (CSTCL) is a cutaneous defined by predominance of small-to-medium-sized T cells, with favorable clinical course. Cases are also characterized the presence rich infiltrate reactive B cells. Recently, it has been reported that follicular helper cells (TFH cells) display distinct gene expression profile, positive for PD-1, CXCL13, and BCL-6. We report first time PD-1 other TFH cell markers in CSTCLs discuss its biologic significance....
HLA-F is a human non-classical MHC molecule. Recombinant heavy chain was refolded with β2-microglobulin to form stable complex. This complex used as an immunogen produce highly specific, high-affinity monoclonal antibody (FG1) that study directly the cellular biology and tissue distribution of HLA-F. has restricted pattern expression in tonsil, spleen, thymus. could be immunoprecipitated from B cell lines HUT-78, T line. binds TAP, but unlike classical class I molecules, undetected at...
Rare cases of peripheral T-cell lymphomas with follicular growth pattern (PTCL-F) have been recently reported, and their association t(5;9)(q33;q22) involving ITK SYK has suggested. However, the clinicopathologic aspects PTCL-F are poorly described normal cell counterpart this subgroup lymphoma is still unknown. Therefore, we analyzed pathologic, phenotypic, cytogenetic features a series 30 patients (range: 33 to 88 y) that showed histopathologic in at least 1 biopsy (n=30), either initial...
Disruption of the Krebs cycle is a hallmark cancer. IDH1 and IDH2 mutations are found in many neoplasms, germline alterations SDH genes FH predispose to pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma other cancers. We describe paraganglioma family carrying mutation MDH2, which encodes enzyme. Whole-exome sequencing was applied tumor DNA obtained from man age 55 years diagnosed with multiple malignant paragangliomas. Data were analyzed two-sided Student's t Mann-Whitney U tests Bonferroni correction for...
The microenvironment influences outcome in follicular lymphoma. Our hypothesis was that several immune cell subsets are important for disease and their individual prognostic importance should be demonstrable the same analysis competition with clinical factors.Seventy lymphoma patients extreme ("poor" "good" cases) were selected a population-based cohort of 197. None 37 good-outcome died from lymphoma, whereas all 33 poor-outcome succumbed <or=5 years. Furthermore, followed long time needed...

Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) in western countries are uncommon tumors with unfavorable prognosis. They may be subclassified as anaplastic large-cell (ALCLs), angioimmunoblastic-T-cell (AITLs), or unspecified peripheral (PTCLs-U). It has recently been demonstrated that AITLs originate from germinal center follicular helper T cells (TFH), whereas the normal counterparts of other PTCLs remain essentially unknown. The aim this study was to establish whether PTCL subgroups also express TFH...
