ABSTRACT 2 for review). Various cell types have been proposed as the originators of HD including lymphoid cells (3-6), mononuclear In the present study, we show by Northern blot analysis and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay that the Hodgkin's disease (HD)-derived (7-11 ), interdigitating reticulum cells (12), follicular cell lines HDLM-2 and KM-H2 express a variety of cytokine genes dentritic cells (13, 14), and granulopoietic cells (15). Unfortu either constitutively or upon induction with phorbol ester 12-O-tetrade- nately, the analysis of RS-H cells is hampered by the scarcity canoylphorbol-13-acetate.
