Abstract
Familial lymphoma is uncommon and is usually associated with various forms of hereditary immunodeficiencies. Primary gastric lymphomas that occurred in three adults from the same family, who had no overt immunodeficiency or cancer of non-lymphomatous origin, are reported. Two sisters presented with a low grade lymphoma of the mucosa associated lymphoid tissue type. Their father presented with a high grade form of later onset. All lymphomas have been phenotypically characterised as being of B cell origin. Epstein-Bar virus DNA was detected by polymerase chain reaction in the biopsy specimen of the high grade lymphoma but bcl-2/JH protooncogene rearrangement, t (14:18), was not identified in either the low or high grade lymphoma specimens tested.

Abstract
A family study was performed in order to diagnose X-linked lymphoproliferative (XLP) disease in a fetus. The molecular genetic analysis indicated that the fetus, as well as its healthy 7-year-old brother, inherited XLP. Analysis of immunoglobulin subclasses from the 7-year-old brother supported the DNA-based diagnosis. This is the first XLP family of African descent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acquired hypogammaglobulinemia or agammaglobulinemia, aplastic anemia, chronic or fatal infectious mononucleosis (IM), virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome, and a variety of B-cell malignant lymphomas (ML) develop in boys with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) after infection by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). They have an inherited immunodeficiency to EBV. Approximately 80% of the patients die during childhood and 100% by the age of 40. The ML occurring in patients with XLP are different from those of other populations in that there is a maternal family history of males with phenotypes of XLP, particularly ML involving the ileocecal region. METHODS This article describes two brothers with XLP in whom ML developed. Also, a maternally related male cousin had died of aplastic anemia complicating IM. RESULTS A Burkitt lymphoma (BL)-specific translocation of t(8;14) (q24;q32) was observed in the BL cells of the younger brother. The histopathologic appearance and rapid relapse after complete remission in the patient also are suggestive of this aggressive phenotype. CONCLUSIONS This tumor in the patient documents that the BL of patients with XLP probably arises from characteristic tumor-specific chromosomal translocations, as hypothesized in 1980.

Abstract
Increased incidence of malignant disorders is noted in patients with both primary and acquired immunodeficiency diseases. The pathogenetic mechanism(s) for these disorders remain unclear. Defective immunosurveillance of these patients, however, is mainly postulated to be responsible for the increased risk of these malignant disorders. Of the malignant disorders, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) have been increasingly reported, possibly due to improved therapeutic management techniques such as bone marrow transplantation, which results in prolonged survival periods for the primary immunodeficiency; the dramatic development of immunosuppressive treatments for transplant recipients; and the growing numbers of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients. This review focuses on the primary immunodeficiency diseases and EBV-induced LPD, and discusses pathogenetic mechanism(s) for the increased incidence of these malignant disorders.

Abstract
X-linked lymphoproliferative disease is characterized by immune deficiency, particularly to the Epstein-Barr virus and by a tendency to develop fatal infectious mononucleosis, acquired hypogammaglobulinaemia or malignant lymphoma. This disorder has been diagnosed in three boys, two brothers and a maternally related cousin, residing in Australia. The proband presented at 6 years of age with fulminating infectious mononucleosis. His 9 year old male cousin had developed an ileal Burkitt lymphoma one year earlier. Immunological and molecular genetic evidence is presented to support our view that his younger sibling is also affected with this condition. DNA linkage studies using probes to DXS10 and DXS37 provide confirmatory evidence for the diagnosis in the proband's brother and information on carrier status in female family members.

Abstract
Ten patients with B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (BLPD) after bone marrow transplant were studied in a retrospective analysis of 81 specimens available from biopsy and autopsy material. Histologic review, immunophenotyping, and in situ hybridization (ISH) for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) sequences were done. Sixty-four specimens showed morphologic evidence of BLPD, demonstrating a heterogeneous spectrum with various degrees of plasmacytoid differentiation. Immunophenotypic evidence of clonality was found in six patients. The ISH detected EBV sequences in all ten patients, including 60 of the 64 specimens with morphologic evidence of BLPD. In addition, ISH identified EBV-infected lymphoid cells in two of 17 sites without morphologic evidence of BLPD. These data demonstrate the utility of ISH for detecting EBV genome in this setting and provide further evidence for the etiologic role of EBV in the pathogenesis of BLPD.

Abstract
Patients with X-linked lymphoproliferative (XLP) disease are characterized by extreme vulnerability to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Following infection with EBV, affected males develop fatal infectious mononucleosis (IM), hypogammaglobulinemia (H), or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). In addition, hyper IgM, red cell aplasia, necrotizing lymphoid vasculitis (NLV), and aplastic anemia occur rarely. The recent use of DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) probes in linkage with the XLP gene now permit detection of affected males prior to primary EBV infection. We have measured immunoglobulin class and subclass levels in sera from EBV-negative males who were either positive or negative for the XLP genotype by RFLP analysis. Elevated IgA or IgM and/or variable deficiency of IgG, IgG1, and IgG3 occurred in the sera of 13/13 RFLP-positive, EBV-negative males. No consistent abnormalities were noted in 14 RFLP-negative, EBV-negative males. We conclude that the immune defect in XLP is not solely EBV-specific, although EBV is responsible for most of the morbidity and all of the mortality. Further, serial measurement of Ig levels may provide information regarding status of EBV-negative males at risk where RFLP analysis is uninformative or in families where sporadic cases of fatal IM, acquired hypogammaglobulinemia or NHL have occurred, but wherein the genotype of XLP cannot be documented.

Abstract
The success of allogeneic organ transplantation is in great part due to pharmacologic advances in the area of immunosuppressive therapy. However, this achievement has been attained at the price of an unexpectedly high incidence of malignancies in this transplant population. Lymphoid malignancies predominate in this and other immunodeficiency states. There is some controversy in the literature over the clonal or malignant nature of these proliferations. This paper presents a case of Burkitt-like lymphoma occurring after cardiac transplantation. The role of Epstein-Barr virus in the pathogenesis of this disorder is reviewed as are multidisciplinary approaches to its management.

Abstract
During the past decade, 240 males with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) within 59 unrelated kindreds have been identified worldwide. One half of the patients have developed fatal infections mononucleosis, about one third have acquired hypogammaglobulinemia, and another one fourth have developed malignant lymphoma. Less commonly occurring phenotypes include hyperimmunoglobulinemia M, bone marrow hypoplasia, and necrotizing lymphoid vasculitis. The fatal infectious mononucleosis phenotype occurs at about 2.5 years of age, and median survival is only 33 days following onset of illness. The acquired hypogammaglobulinemia and malignant lymphoma phenotypes are associated with longer survivals, but to date no patient has been documented as living into the fifth decade of life. We summarized recent research findings and technological advances that permit accurate diagnosis of carrier females and detection of males with the XLP gene before Epstein-Barr virus infection.

Abstract
A Japanese patient with adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) showed a disease progression from the smoldering type to the chronic type and finally to the acute type. The patient was variously treated, including 2'-deoxycoformycin, with some beneficial effects. During the chronic type he developed a composite lymphoma consisting of T-cell lymphoma (ATL) of medium-sized cells and B-cell lymphoma of diffuse large cell type. At that time, he also suffered from miliary tuberculosis and adenovirus type 11-induced hemorrhagic cystitis, indicating that he was in a marked immunodeficient state. Southern-blot analysis revealed that the two malignancies have distinct clonal origin on the basis of the following results: (1) clonally rearranged T-cell receptor beta-chain gene (TcR-beta gene) and germline configuration of immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IgH gene) in ATL leukemic cells, (2) clonal rearrangement of IgH gene in lymphoma cells, indicating a monoclonal B-cell lymphoma, (3) monoclonal integration of HTLV-I provirus in ATL leukemic cells, (4) definite presence and monoclonal origin of EBV genome in lymphoma cells. This is the first report of secondary EBV genome carrying monoclonal B-cell lymphoma in an ATL patient. It is suggested that the immunodeficient state in the patient with ATL allows the emergence of EBV-related B-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
We assessed 33 lymphoid tissues from 15 patients, including 7 with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) and 8 patients with sporadic fatal infectious mononucleosis (IM), to determine whether the cellular infiltrate had the immunophenotype and expressed Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded proteins characteristic of either EBV-immortalized lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) or EBV-carrying Burkitt lymphoma (BL) cells. The results of these studies revealed that in 13 cases the proliferating B cells were polyclonal, LCL-like, and in 2 cases they were monoclonal, malignant lymphoma-like.

Abstract
A novel X-linked combined immunodeficiency disease was found in five living males in an extended family in the United States. The age of the affected males ranged from 2.5 to 34 yr. The most prominent clinical abnormalities were a paucity of lymphoid tissue; recurrent sinusitis, otitis media, bronchitis, and pneumonia; severe varicella; and chronic papillomavirus infections. The principal immunologic features of the disorder were normal concentrations of serum immunoglobulins but restricted formation of IgG antibodies to immunogens; normal numbers of B cells and NK cells but decreased numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, particularly the CD45RA+ subpopulations; diminished proliferative responses of blood T cells to allogeneic cells, mitogens and antigens; and decreased production of IL-2 by mitogen stimulated blood lymphocytes. Thus, affected males in this family carry an abnormal gene on their X chromosome that results in a combined immunodeficiency that is distinct from previously reported disorders.

Abstract
We report on a 30-month-old previously healthy Turkish boy who presented with fever, hepatosplenomegaly and generalized lymphadenopathy. He died 4 months after admission in spite of treatment with steroids, acycloguanosine and cyclophosphamide. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA was detected in the patient's bone marrow and in a lymph node biopsy. Cells from the lymph node biopsy showed monoclonal rearrangements of immunoglobulin heavy chain genes but no rearrangements of T-cell receptor beta-chain genes or immunoglobulin kappa chain genes. Serological data indicated chronic active EBV infection. There was a slight increase of CD8 positive cells in peripheral blood and a normal response to T-cell mitogens. However, T-cell lines established with interleukin 2 from lymph node biopsy completely failed to kill autologous EBV-transformed B-cells and K 562 target cells. Moreover, in regression tests the patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells completely failed to limit outgrowth of autologous EBV infected B-cells. We conclude that the patient's selective immuno-deficiency had led to the rapid development of EBV-associated monoclonal lymphoproliferation.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is often associated with lethal lymphoproliferative diseases in immunologically compromised individuals. Recently, we have studied a 20-month-old boy with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) who had succumbed to infectious mononucleosis (IM) complicated by fulminant hepatitis and virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome following EBV infection. EBV genomes were detected in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), cervical and mesenteric lymph nodes, liver, spleen, thymus, and bone marrow. According to restriction endonuclease analyses, the EBV-DNA pattern was similar in all samples except for the EBV-DNA from the bone marrow. Additionally, circular EBV-DNA (suggesting a latent infection) predominated in spontaneously established lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) derived from both the lymph node and cord lymphocytes co-cultured with PBL. In contrast, both circular and linear EBV-DNA (suggesting a lytic infection) were noted in spontaneously established LCLs derived from his PBL. Furthermore, LCLs derived from both the lymph node and cord lymphocytes co-cultured with PBL expressed fewer reactive cells for early antigen (EA) and viral capsid antigen (VCA) than spontaneous LCLs from his PBL, thus providing evidence for different B cellular susceptibility to EBV infection in this patient with XLP. Finally, defective EBV-specific cytotoxic T cell activity was observed in this patient. Latent EBV infected cells may easily escape immunosurveillance by the host. These findings may explain the fatal course of EBV infection in this patient.

Abstract
X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) results in exquisite vulnerability to EBV infection: fatal infectious mononucleosis (IM), acquired hypogammaglobulinemia and/or malignant lymphoma occur invariably following infection with the virus. We have identified the XLP locus using the DXS42 DNA probe having restriction length polymorphisms (RFLP). We report an interstitial deletion involving a portion of the Xq25 region in the X chromosome of an affected male, one sister, and their mother. Concordance has been established between the presence of a deletion and RFLP linkage analysis with the DXS42 probe in the kindred. This finding will contribute substantially to the mapping, cloning, and sequencing of the gene responsible for XLP.

Abstract
To determine whether the gene defect that causes X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP) results in a selective disadvantage in proliferation or survival of leukocytes, we analyzed X chromosome inactivation patterns in neutrophils, T cells, and B cells from two unrelated obligate carriers of XLP. Analysis of DNA methylation patterns and production of somatic cell hybrids demonstrated that all three cell lines from both women exhibited normal, random X chromosome inactivation. These findings indicate that the XLP gene defect does not result in a global defect in proliferation or survival of T cells or B cells. It remains possible that a subset of T or B cells or natural killer cells may be selectively affected. It is also possible that the gene defect alters function but not proliferation or survival of T or B cells.

Abstract
We have studied a 19-year-old male with X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP) and infectious mononucleosis (IM) who was treated with high-dose immunoglobulin (500 mg/kg/day) and recombinant interferon (IFN)-alpha (2 x 10(6) IU/m2/day). Fulminant hepatitis was delayed; however, virus-associated hemophagocytic syndrome, cholestatic jaundice, and renal failure occurred terminally. Initially, nonspecific natural killer (NK) cell activity against K562 cells was normal but it gradually decreased. Although reactive T cells were markedly increased in his blood during the acute phase, spontaneous EBV-positive cell lines were easily established. Additionally, his mononuclear cells produced IFN-gamma but not IFN-alpha prior to treatment. Based on results of in vitro studies, we conclude that both IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma production are likely necessary for inhibiting EBV immortalization in vitro. Both IFN-alpha and -gamma were produced in cultures of B95-8 EBV-infected mononuclear cells from EBV-seropositive healthy individuals. These results suggest that defective EBV-specific cytotoxic T cell activity accompanied with defective or discordant IFN-alpha and -gamma production permitted the development of fatal IM in this patient. Combined treatment with immunoglobulin and IFN-alpha appeared to be partially effective during the early stage of this disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE, PATIENTS, AND METHODS Detection of males affected with the X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) was sought using immunovirologic and molecular genetic linkage techniques. The study population consisted of 20 males in six families with XLP. RESULTS Concordance for detection of affected males was 100% when linkage analysis using DXS42 and DXS37 DNA probes and antibody responses to challenge with bacteriophage phi X174 were both determined. Most affected males showing IgG subclass immune deficiency could not produce antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen and had deficient responses to challenge with bacteriophage phi X174. CONCLUSION Use of only one of the techniques described can fail to lead to the diagnosis of XLP, because problems can prevail with each individual determination.

Abstract
High resolution chromosome analysis was done on lymphoblastoid cell lines, established during the past decade from affected males with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) or from obligate female carriers, from 14 families. One cell line, from a male with XLP, has a partial deletion of band Xq25. The constitutional nature of the deletion is confirmed in chromosome studies of peripheral blood from the affected individual and represents the first such structural defect to be described in this disorder. Cell lines from the remaining 13 families do not have cytogenetically detectable deletions. This observation will facilitate precise localization, cloning and sequencing of the gene causing XLP.

Abstract
A 20-month-old male with fulminant infectious mononucleosis and the X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP) was studied. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-determined nuclear antigen (EBNA) and EBV DNA were detected in various tissues. Despite a combined treatment with acyclovir, immunoglobulin, and methylprednisolone, the patient deteriorated rapidly. Following treatment with recombinant interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), defervescence occurred and circulating EBNA-positive cells markedly decreased. IFN-gamma prior to treatment ranged from 10.8 to 24.5 U/ml in the patient's serum and increased linearly post exogenous IFN-gamma treatment. His natural killer (NK)-cell activity remained in the normal range throughout his illness but autologous EBV-infected cells were not killed in vitro by his peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). These results suggest that patients with the fatal infectious mononucleosis phenotype of XLP may produce endogenous IFN-gamma. Defective cytotoxic T cells against EBV-infected cells seem to be responsible for the fulminant infectious mononucleosis in this patient.

Abstract
A new trypsin-like serine protease was cloned from both a murine cytotoxic T lymphocyte and a human PHA-stimulated peripheral blood lymphocyte cDNA library. In both the mouse and human system, this transcript had a T cell- and NK-specific distribution, being detected in cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), some T-helper clones, and NK, but not in a variety of normal tissues. T-cell activation with Con A plus IL-2 induced mouse spleen cells to express this gene with kinetics correlating with the acquisition of cytolytic capacity. Both the mouse and human nucleotide sequences of this gene encoded an amino acid sequence with 25-40% identity to members of the serine protease family. The active-site "charge-relay" residues (His-57, Asp-102, and Ser-195 of the chymotrypsin numbering system) are conserved, as well as the trypsin-specific Asp (position 189 in trypsin). We reviewed the evidence of this serine protease's role in lymphocyte lysis and proposed a "lytic cascade." We discussed the biological and clinical implications of a cascade, proposing these enzymes as markers for cytolytic cells and as targets for rational drug therapy. Genetic and acquired deficits in the lethal hit-delivery system are considered as a basis for approaching some immunodeficiency states, including severe EBV infections, T-gamma leukemias, and T8+ lymphocytosis syndromes.

Abstract
Since the discovery of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) from a cultured Burkitt's lymphoma cell line in 1964, the virus has been associated with Burkitt's lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and infectious mononucleosis. During the recent decade, EBV has been etiologically implicated in a broad spectrum of human diseases. The precise role of this virus in these diseases is not well understood, but clearly, defective immunosurveillance against the virus may permit an uncontrolled proliferation of EBV-infected cells. As a result, a growing number of cases of EBV-associated B-cell proliferative diseases or lymphoma have been noted in patients with primary and acquired immunodeficiencies. These lymphoproliferative diseases and others, such as chronic mononucleosis syndrome, are leading to new areas of investigation which are providing information regarding the pathogenetic mechanisms of EBV-induced diseases. The early accurate diagnosis of EBV infection can be achieved by performing EBV-specific serology, detecting for EBV-determined nuclear antigen in tissues, establishing spontaneous lymphoid cell lines, and using molecular hybridization techniques for demonstrating the presence of viral genome in affected lesions.

Abstract
Observation of a patient with acquired hypogammaglobulinemia associated with a mononucleosis syndrome led to the identification of one of the largest families affected by the X-linked lymphoproliferative (XLP) syndrome in the world. It is the first such family identified in Switzerland and the largest in Europe. At least nine male subjects over two generations presented phenotypic expressions consistent with the XLP syndrome. Study of the pedigree extending over seven generations suggests that the mutation occurred in the proband's great-grandmother. In the next generation, a second mutation of the X chromosome in one branch of the family resulted in expression of hemophilia A in the children. This remarkably large family, comprising six living obligate female carriers, displays a wide spectrum of the XLP syndrome and offers valuable information for future genetic linkage studies and for genetic counseling.

Abstract
A detailed clinicopathologic analysis of 30 patients with sporadic fatal infectious mononucleosis and 31 males with fatal infectious mononucleosis and the X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome was performed to determine the extent of hepatic dysfunction in these cases. At death, the median age of patients with sporadic infectious mononucleosis was 10.7 yr vs. 2.4 yr for X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome. The median survival time was 8 wk for sporadic infectious mononucleosis and only 4 wk for X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome. The male to female ratio was 3:2 in sporadic infectious mononucleosis; all patients with X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome were males. Fever, sore throat, lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly were prominent findings. Hepatic dysfunction was uniformly present and caused death in 13 of 30 sporadic infectious mononucleosis cases and 18 of 31 X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome cases. Diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis was confirmed by heterophile antibody titers or Monospot, Epstein-Barr virus antibody studies, viral culture, molecular hybridization studies, clinical and histologic findings, and pedigree analysis.
