[Morphological and immuno-cytological classification of secretory immunoglobulin producing malignant lymphomas (author's transl)]. 1979

K D Rüdiger, and K Wutke, and G Kelényi

After an introduction about the frequency of "secretory" immunoglobulin producing malignant lymphomas and the histological equivalent of intracytoplasmatic immunoglobulin the results of a co-operative retrospective study on 102 cases of immunocytoma and 28 cases of immunoblastoma are discussed. According to the different types of physiological plasma cell reaction lymphoplasmacytoid immunocytoma might be functionally interpreted as "parafollicular" immunocytoma, whereas lymphoplasmacytic and polymorphous immunocytoma might be functionally considered as a "transfollicular" one. These subtypes of the immunocytoma show differences in morphology, immunocytology, primary localization and occurrence of leukemia.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.

D010950 Plasma Cells Specialized forms of antibody-producing B-LYMPHOCYTES. They synthesize and secrete immunoglobulin. They are found only in lymphoid organs and at sites of immune responses and normally do not circulate in the blood or lymph.
