B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (B-NHL) and B-cell areas of reactive lymphadenopathies were investigated immunohistochemically for expression of two distinct ICAM-1 epitopes, Me14/D12 and P3-58, and the LFA-1 alpha and beta chains. Partial or total loss of expression of one or both epitope(s) and/or chain(s) was evident in all B-NHL in function of increasing Working Formulation (WF) malignancy grade, with most defects in the high-grade tumors, namely the lowest detectability of the ICAM-1 Me14/D12 and LFA-1 alpha chain, the lowest co-expression of ICAM-1 epitopes and LFA-1 chains, and the most frequent simultaneous loss. The ICAM-1 and LFA-1 profiles overlapped within the low- and intermediate-grades, whereas striking differences between the high-grade subtypes were detected. Specifically, Burkitt's and lymphoblastic tumors always lost both epitopes and both chains. Large cell, immunoblastic tumors occasionally did so, and also showed either uncoordinated expression or co-expression of these constituents. It is suggested that expression defects of this type may help differentiate malignant from benign lymphoproliferations, and also be involved in the progression of B-NHL, since most are observed in high-grade tumors, whose ICAM-1 and LFA-1 profiles indicate that their subtypes are the expression of distinct normal B-cell differentiation stages.

D002051 Burkitt Lymphoma A form of undifferentiated malignant LYMPHOMA usually found in central Africa, but also reported in other parts of the world. It is commonly manifested as a large osteolytic lesion in the jaw or as an abdominal mass. B-cell antigens are expressed on the immature cells that make up the tumor in virtually all cases of Burkitt lymphoma. The Epstein-Barr virus (HERPESVIRUS 4, HUMAN) has been isolated from Burkitt lymphoma cases in Africa and it is implicated as the causative agent in these cases; however, most non-African cases are EBV-negative.

D016169 Lymphocyte Function-Associated Antigen-1 An integrin heterodimer widely expressed on cells of hematopoietic origin. CD11A ANTIGEN comprises the alpha chain and the CD18 antigen (CD18 ANTIGENS) the beta chain. Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 is a major receptor of T-CELLS; B-CELLS; and GRANULOCYTES. It mediates the leukocyte adhesion reactions underlying cytolytic conjugate formation, helper T-cell interactions, and antibody-dependent killing by NATURAL KILLER CELLS and granulocytes. Intracellular adhesion molecule-1 has been defined as a ligand for lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1.
