title: Development of CD30+ lymphoproliferative disease in mice lacking interferon regulatory factor-1.
abstract: Human lymphomas continue to represent a major challenge in oncology, and in particular occur at very high frequencies in AIDS patients. We report here the development of a CD30+ lymphoproliferative disease in mice lacking the proapoptotic transcription factor, interferon regulatory factor-1. These mice most closely represent a model of human anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL). This mouse model of lymphoma will likely be useful in understanding the development of ALCL and in understanding the development of other closely related CD30+ forms of lymphoma, such as CD30+ Hodgkin's disease and CD30+ cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. This mouse model will also be useful in testing therapies for different forms of CD30+ lymphoma, in particular anti-CD30-based therapies.
