Abstract

Different immunohistochemical algorithms for the classification of the activated B‑cell (ABC) and germinal center B‑cell (GCB) subtypes of diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are applied in different laboratories. In the present study, 127 patients with DLCBL were investigated, all treated with rituximab and cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunorubicin, oncovin and prednisone (CHOP) or CHOP‑like regimens between April 2004 and December 2010. Multi‑tumor tissue microarrays were prepared and were tested according to 4 algorithms: Hans; modified Hans; Choi; and modified Choi. For 39 patients, the flow cytometric quantification of CD19 and CD20 antigen expression was performed and the level of expression presented as molecules of equivalent soluble fluorochrome units. The Choi algorithm was demonstrated to be prognostic for OS and classified patients into the GCB subgroup with an HR of 0.91. No difference in the expression of the CD19 antigen between the ABC and GCB groups was observed, but the ABC subtype exhibited a decreased expression of the CD20 antigen compared with the GCB subtype.
