57 Human Marginal Zone B Cells IgM+,IgD+,CD27+,(CD21+, CD1c +) Prediversification ( hypermutation of BCR) occuring at early age, polyclonal, no selection on antigen priming, no memory (?) Reaction to TI antigen stimulation, but also to TD antigens ( in humanized SCID mice) Non-cognate interaction with Th cells may induce IgH switch Don t enter follicular reactions No AID ( human splenic marginal zone B cells) Unclear whether seperate naive B cell subset or specialized antigen expanded memory population ( e.g. in GALT) K.Willenbrock et al.

59 Marginal zone Reaction( hyperplasia) Marginal zone B cells are heterogeneous Marginal zone has been defined in the spleen, where the outer extrafollicular response is a prefollicular reaction mostly to TI antigens. Similar reactions and structural findings do exist in lymph nodes Better understanding necessary to define the normal counterparts of nodal and splenic MZBL

104 How to integrate the FISH data into histopathology diagnosis? Genomic abnormality = malignancy Genomic abnormality = lymphoma type FL t(14;18)(q32;q21) + (85%) bcl2 protein + FL t(14;18)(q32;q21) bcl2 protein +/- DLBCL t(14;18)(q32;q21) + GCB expression profile Bcl2 +/- favorable prognosis t(14;18)(q32;q21) bcl2 protein + ABC expression profile poor prognosis

105 Interphase FISH analysis is preferable method for detection of the chromosomal translocations as many breakpoints are dispersed over the large genomic area Both practical and biological considerations are in favor of FISH segregation assay (BAP) in which two differently labeled probes segregate upon a break Introduction of reliable hybridization protocols for paraffin tissue allows the usage of FISH in routine pathology settings Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.
