Varying numbers of the CD20+ and CD30+ cells from both L428 or KM-H2 B-cell cell lines were directly sorted into microtiter wells and then serially replated every seven days. As few as ten CD20+ cells from both cell lines expanded over seven days to over 103 cells containing both the B-cell and RS subpopulations. Serial replating as few as ten L428 and KM-H2 cells from the wells originally seeded with ten CD20+ cells generated cellular expansion for least four serial replatings. No wells seeded with one or ten sorted larger-sized CD30+ HRS cells from either cell line grew. Seeding 100 HRS cells from either cell line resulted in cellular expansion over seven days, but the expanded cells never contained the B-cell population. Moreover, no further cellular expansion was seen with the second replating of 100 HRS cells from either cell line. Three separate experiments yielded exactly the same findings.

CD19+ cells were isolated from a newly-diagnosed HL patient and stained with Aldefluor and monoclonal antibodies against CD27 and (A) kappa and (B) lambda light chains.

(A) Clonal immunogloblulin kappa sequence traces from peripheral blood light chain-restricted B cells (top) and microdissected HRS cells (bottom) isolated from the patient shown in Fig. 6B,D. (B) The resulting sequences are nearly identical to each other (68/71 evaluable bases, with 2 of the differences in low quality regions) and to the IgK variable region (Giudicelli et al, Nucleic Acids Res. 2005;33:D256–D261. The Fr3 and CDR3 are indicated. Dots indicate identity with the germline IgKV1–8 sequence.
