Abstract
Clinical responses to anti-tumor monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment have been regarded for many years only as a consequence of the ability of mAbs to destroy tumor cells by innate immune effector mechanisms. More recently, it has also been shown that anti-tumor antibodies can induce a long-lasting anti-tumor adaptive immunity, likely responsible for durable clinical responses, a phenomenon that has been termed the vaccinal effect of antibodies. However, some of these anti-tumor antibodies are directed against molecules expressed both by tumor cells and normal immune cells, in particular lymphocytes, and, hence, can also strongly affect the host adaptive immunity. In addition to a delayed recovery of target cells, lymphocyte depleting-mAb treatments can have dramatic consequences on the adaptive immune cell network, its rebound, and its functional capacities. Thus, in this review, we will not only discuss the mAb-induced vaccinal effect that has emerged from experimental preclinical studies and clinical trials but also the multifaceted impact of lymphocytes-depleting therapeutic antibodies on the host adaptive immunity. We will also discuss some of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of action whereby therapeutic mAbs induce a long-term protective anti-tumor effect and the relationship between the mAb-induced vaccinal effect and the immune response against self-antigens.

Abstract
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLDs) are a group of diseases that range from benign polyclonal to malignant monoclonal lymphoid proliferations. They arise secondary to treatment with immunosuppressive drugs given to prevent transplant rejection. Three main pathologic subsets/stages of evolution are recognised: early, polymorphic, and monomorphic lesions. The pathogenesis of PTLDs seems to be multifactorial. Among possible infective aetiologies, the role of EBV has been studied in depth, and the virus is thought to play a central role in driving the proliferation of EBV-infected B cells that leads to subsequent development of the lymphoproliferative disorder. It is apparent, however, that EBV is not solely responsible for the “neoplastic” state. Accumulated genetic alterations of oncogenes and tumour suppressor genes (deletions, mutations, rearrangements, and amplifications) and epigenetic changes (aberrant hypermethylation) that involve tumour suppressor genes are integral to the pathogenesis. Antigenic stimulation also plays an evident role in the pathogenesis of PTLDs. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) that are critical to fight viral infections have been thought to play a pathogenetically relevant role in PTLDs. Furthermore, regulatory T cells (Treg cells), which are modulators of immune reactions once incited, seem to have an important role in PTLDs where antigenic stimulation is key for the pathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In order to compensate for the paucity of defined tumor antigens (Ag) in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, a promising approach might be the use of whole tumor cells as a source of tumor Ag to pulse antigen-presenting cells (APC). However, it is not presently known how the tumor cells should be delivered to APC to optimize the cross-presentation of tumor Ag to anti-tumor CD8 T cells. We aimed to compare CD20-opsonized, apoptotic and necrotic human tumor cells for their capacity to induce endocytosis and cross-presentation of tumor-associated Ag by dendritic cells (DC) or macrophages. METHODS Endocytosis of human tumor-derived material by macrophages or DC was monitored by flow cytometry. We used a previously described influenza model and studied cross-presentation of viral Ag as cellular surrogate tumor-associated Ag by APC after endocytosis of lymphoma B cells treated by inactivated influenza virus. RESULTS Optimal endocytosis was obtained when tumor cells were opsonized by an anti-CD20 antibody and, as expected, macrophages were more phagocytic than DC. However, Ag from opsonized, apoptotic and live cells, but not from necrotic lymphoma cells, were efficiently cross-presented by DC but not by macrophages. DISCUSSION We have developed a new model with human primary lymphoma cells to study the cross-presentation of tumor-associated Ag by APC. The results we have obtained support the use of whole lymphoma cells from patients to pulse DC to induce an anti-tumor immune response.

Abstract
The underlying mechanisms by which tumor cells are resistant to CTL-mediated apoptosis are not clear. Using a human model of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-cell NHL), we show that intratumoral T(reg) cells inhibit the proliferation and granule production of activated autologous infiltrating CD8(+) T cells. Our results also show that degranulation and subsequent cytotoxic activity of infiltrating CD8(+) T cells exposed to lymphoma B cells is completely attenuated by the presence of intratumoral T(reg) cells. Furthermore, we show that increased numbers of intratumoral T(reg) cells correlates with the number of CD8(+) T cells in biopsy specimens from patients with B-cell NHL, supporting the in vitro findings that intratumoral T(reg) cells inhibit proliferation of infiltrating CD8(+) T cells. Taken together, these data indicate that human lymphoma B cells are sensitive to autologous CTL-mediated cell death but are protected by the inhibitory function of intratumoral T(reg) cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumor-infiltrating T cells have a positive influence on the clinical course of B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). T cells in the peripheral blood of patients with B cell NHL, however, have so far rarely been examined. METHODS Using flow cytometry we examined lymphocyte subpopulations and numbers of naïve/memory T cell subtypes among peripheral T cells of patients with B cell NHL (N=22), patients with metastasized solid tumors (N=27), and healthy controls (N=20). In addition, we analyzed the intracellular content of effector molecules granzyme B and perforin and expression of the T cell receptor zeta chain. RESULTS We observed increased percentages of potentially highly cytotoxic CD8+CD56+ T cells in the peripheral blood of patients with NHL. Both, patients with NHL and patients with solid tumors showed a much higher expression of the chemokine receptors CCR4 and CCR5 on their T cells than healthy controls, suggesting a polarization of their T cells following stimulation with antigen and/or cytokines in vivo. Furthermore, patients with B cell NHL and patients with solid tumors had far lower percentages of naïve CD45RA+CCR7+ T cells than healthy controls and, in the case of CD4+ T cells, patients with solid tumors. In contrast, patients with B cell NHL showed markedly increased levels of memory effector CD45RA-CCR7- CD4(+) T cells when compared to healthy controls and patients with metastasized solid tumors. Patients with NHL also showed elevated levels granzyme B within CD8(+) T cells, indicating that the increase in memory effector cells was of functional relevance. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate a marked shift in the composition of peripheral T cells of patients with B cell NHL from naïve to memory effector-type cells.

Abstract
Changes in classical and nonclassical HLA class I antigen and NK cell-activating ligand expression have been identified in malignant lesions. These changes, which are described in this chapter, are believed to play a major role in the clinical course of the disease since both HLA class I antigens and NK cell-activating ligands are critical to the interaction between tumor cells and components of both innate and adaptive immune systems. Nevertheless, there is still debate in the literature about the biologic and functional significance of HLA class I antigen and NK cell-activating ligand abnormalities in malignant lesions. The reasons for this debate are reviewed. They include (i) the incomplete association between classical HLA class I antigen changes and the clinical course of the disease; (ii) the relatively limited number of malignant lesions that have been analyzed for nonclassical HLA class I antigen and NK cell-activating ligand expression; and (iii) the conflicting data regarding the role of immunoselection in the generation of malignant cells with HLA antigen and NK cell-activating ligand abnormalities. The technical limitations associated with the assessment of HLA antigen and NK cell-activating ligand expression in malignant lesions as well as the immunological and nonimmunological variables that may confound the impact of HLA antigen and NK cell-activating ligand changes on the clinical course of the disease are also discussed. Future studies aimed at overcoming these limitations and characterizing these variables are expected to provide a solution to the current debate regarding the significance of HLA class I antigen and NK cell-activating ligand abnormalities in malignant lesions.

Abstract
Loss of both HLA class I and class II expression in B cell lymphomas is a mechanism of escape from a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) immune response and will therefore give a strong selective survival advantage in tumours expressing strong immunogenic antigens. We investigated loss of HLA expression using specific antibodies on tissue sections from 254 B cell lymphomas originating from nodal and different extranodal sites in relation to numbers of tumour-infiltrating T cells. Complete loss of HLA class I and II was observed in a minority of the nodal, stomach, and skin lymphomas but in the majority of the lymphomas originating from the testis and the CNS. Interestingly, relatively high percentages of activated CTLs were detected in both primary testicular and CNS lymphomas compared to lymphomas at other sites, with highest percentages in the testis (p < 0.0001). We conclude that loss of both HLA class I and II expression occurs very frequently in lymphomas originating from the testis and the CNS as compared to nodal and some other extranodal sites. The presence of high percentages of activated CTLs in the testicular and CNS lymphomas suggests that loss of HLA expression provides a strong growth advantage for lymphoma cells in these immune-privileged sites.

Abstract
Multiple mechanisms exist by which tumour cells can escape CD95-mediated apoptosis. Previous studies by our laboratory have shown that primary B cells from non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (B-NHL) were resistant to CD95-induced cell death. In the current study, we have analysed the mechanisms underlying CD95 resistance in primary human lymphoma B cells. We report that FADD (FAS-associated death domain protein) and caspase-8 were constitutively expressed in lymphoma B cells and that the CD95 pathway was blocked upstream to caspase-8 activation. However, caspase-8 was processed and functional after treatment with staurosporine (STS). We found that the expression levels of FLICE (FADD-like interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme)-Inhibitory Protein (c-FLIP) and Bcl-2-related proteins were heterogeneous in B-NHL cells and were not related to CD95 resistance. Finally, we report the absence of a CD95-induced signalling complex [death-inducing signalling complex (DISC)] in lymphoma B cells, with no FADD and caspase-8 recruitment to CD95 receptor. In contrast, DISC formation was observed in CD95-resistant non-tumoural (NT) B cells. Therefore, we propose that the absence of DISC formation in primary lymphoma B cells may contribute to protect these cells from CD95-induced apoptosis.
