  • Title: Demonstration of Epstein-Barr virus genome in neoplastic cells of Hodgkin's disease by in situ hybridization, in paraffin-embedded tissue using biotinylated probes. A study of 46 cases.

    Journal: Pathol Res Pract; 1992 Apr; 188(3):310-3. PubMed ID: 1320758.
    Abstract:
    Paraffin-embedded tissue specimens from 46 cases of Hodgkin's disease (HD) were studied by in situ hybridization with biotinylated probes for the presence of EBV genomes. EBV specific DNA sequences were detected in the nuclei of Reed-Sternberg (RS) and Hodgkin cells (H), in 14 of these 46 cases. There was no correlation between positive hybridization and morphological subtype or site of tumor. By demonstrating an exclusive localization of the viral DNA in the tumor cells of HD, our study adds to the growing body of evidence to suggest an involvement of EBV in the pathogenesis of at least some cases of HD.
