Resumen
Little is known about the motility and interaction of primary human lymphoma cells in lymph nodes. The aim of this study therefore was to analyze for the first time if there are differences in motility and interaction with bystander cells between different lymphoma types and normal lymph nodes. We observed systematic differences between B cells and PD1-positive T cells. Furthermore, most cases of Hodgkin lymphomas had fast moving PD1-positive T cells, whereas there was little movement in other lymphoma types. Some lymphomas, particularly Hodgkin lymphomas, presented enhanced cell contacts between neoplastic and reactive cells, suggesting a dependency of lymphoma growth on cellular interaction.
