Histology of a normal lymphoid follicle, with marginal zone annotated at bottom.. Numerous factors appear to be involved in the development of EMZL. In a small number of cases where there is a family history of a blood cancer particularly leukemia, or a number of autoimmune diseases such as Sjögren syndrome and lupus erythematosus, there is seen to be an increased frequency.
In COVID-19 B cell, natural killer cell, and total lymphocyte counts decline, but both CD4 + and CD8 + cells decline to a far greater extent. [12] Low CD4 + predicted greater likelihood of intensive care unit admission, and CD4 + cell count was the only parameter that predicted length of time for viral RNA clearance.
The presence of Downey cells were observed in many COVID-19 cases, together with the atypical plasmacytoid lymphocytes (which could be one of the less usual atypical lymphocyte types). [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Some observations even suggest that the presence of particular reactive lymphocytes in some of the infected patients could be an indicator of a ...
CD19 is widely expressed during all phases of B cell development until terminal differentiation into plasma cells. During B cell lymphopoiesis, CD19 surface expression starts during immunoglobulin (Ig) gene rearrangement, which coincides during B lineage commitment from hematopoietic stem cell. [8]
Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is a heterogeneous group of indolent B cell lymphomas that arise from the marginal zone of lymphoid tissues. [17] It accounts for 5–10% of all NHL cases, with an annual incidence of 0.4 to 1.0 per 100,000 in Western countries. [ 18 ]
The marginal zone is the region at the interface between the non-lymphoid red pulp and the lymphoid white-pulp of the spleen. (Some sources consider it to be the part of red pulp which borders on the white pulp, while other sources consider it to be neither red pulp nor white pulp.) A marginal zone also exists in the lymphoid follicles of lymph ...
[2] [4] MZ B cells shuttle between the blood-filled marginal zone for antigen collection and the follicle for antigen delivery to follicular dendritic cells. In mice, it has been shown that these cells shear flow via the LFA-1 integrin ligand ICAM-1 and adhere or migrate down the flow via the VLA-4 integrin ligand VCAM-1 .
These malignancies appear to have been primarily marginal zone B-cell lymphomas of the splenic marginal zone B-cell, splenic lymphoma/leukemia unclassifiable, hairy cell leukemia, and possibly Waldenström's macroglobulinemia. MBL-MZ requires further studies to evaluate its frequencies, rate of progression to malignancy, and treatment.
