The arrangement of the T cell receptor and immunoglobulin genes was analysed in lymphoid tissue biopsy specimens from 25 cases of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. Nineteen cases showed a rearrangement of the gene coding for the beta chain of the T cell receptor, and in one case a clonal rearrangement of immunoglobulin genes was shown (in which the T cell receptor gene was in a germline configuration). These findings indicate that a monoclonal T cell proliferation is present in most cases of angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy, and they also correlate with the fact that some patients who present with this disorder subsequently develop a T cell lymphoma.
对25例血管免疫母细胞性淋巴结病患者的淋巴组织活检标本进行了T细胞受体和免疫球蛋白基因的排列分析。19例显示T细胞受体β链编码基因发生重排,1例显示免疫球蛋白基因的克隆性重排(其中T细胞受体基因为种系构型)。这些发现表明,大多数血管免疫母细胞性淋巴结病患者存在单克隆T细胞增殖,这也与一些患有这种疾病的患者随后发展为T细胞淋巴瘤这一事实相关。
