INTRODUCTION F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is useful for the staging and assessment of treatment response in patients with lymphoma. Occasionally, benign lesions demonstrate avid FDG uptake and result in false positive findings. CASE We report the case of an 82-year-old man presenting with cutaneous lesions, which were histopathologicall...

HV(MNE) is a novel Epstein-Barr (EBV)-like virus isolated from a Macaca nemestrina with CD8(+) T-cell mycosis fungoides-cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Here it is demonstrated that intravenous inoculation of irradiated HV(MNE)-infected T cells or cell-free virus from the J94356(PBMC) cell line in New Zealand White rabbits results in seroconversion to the viral capsid antigen (VCA) of EBV; all animal...

In the course of studies of factors responsible for the malignant lymphoma of children in Africa, cells derived from a maxillary tumor of an 8-year-old male patient in Kenya have been serially cultured in this laboratory. Fragments, prepared from tumor tissue, became attached to the glass, and cellular outgrowth was observed after 9 days of incubation. After 15 months of serial passage morpholo...

T-activin is a complex of immunologically active peptides (MW 1.2-6 KDa) derived from the thymuses of different animal species. To study immunomodulatory and antitumor effect of T-activin and its relation with type 1 and type 2 cytokines, immunosuppressed mice with L-5178-Y lymphoma were treated with subcutaneous T-activin. T-activin treatment increased life span and reduced the increase in bod...
