Abstract:Hodgkin lymphoma is histologically characterised by the presence of Hodgkin (H) and Reed‐Sternberg (RS) cells originating from germinal centre B‐cells rearranged in the IgV gene. The formation of multinucleated RS cells is a product of telomere organisation in a process initiated by telomere aggregate accumulation in mononuclear H cells and may be mediated by latent membrane protein 1 (LMP‐1) expression. LMP‐1 is the main oncoprotein of EBV and supports several tumourigenic processes. LMP‐1 may rescue proapopt… Show more
