title: [Properties of Hodgkin cell lines. Possible significance for pathophysiology and clinical medicine].
abstract: In the last three years, five permanently in-vitro growing cell cultures with malignant properties were established from tumour material of patients with histologically confirmed Hodgkin's disease. Four cell lines have been maintained in culture. L 428 had identical characteristics in every respect with Hodgkin and Sternberg-Reed cells, tested in-vivo on biopsy tissue. The other lines--L 538, L 540 and L 591 - had certain characteristics of Hodgkin and Sternberg-Reed cells with a number of markers, but were not fully congruent. All lines reacted with a heterologous antiserum against L 428, which selectively cross-reacted with Hodgkin and Sternberg-Reed cells in fresh biopsies. Two sublines, L 428 KS and L 428 KSA, were established from L 428 by modifying the culture medium. Tests on L 428 KS cells with conventional methods and with monoclonal antibodies demonstrated that this line carried antigens of myeloid cells; however, it could not be definitely placed into any haematopoetic line. Conditioned medium of L 428 and its sublines showed CSF activity (colony-stimulating factor) and suppression of cell-mediated cytolysis.
