To examine the involvement of DcR3 in the immune evasions of virus-associated lymphoma, we analyzed the amplification and expression of DcR3, using dot blot and in situ hybridization (ISH), in 45 cases, which included 17 cases with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoma (seven pyothorax-associated B-cell lymphomas (PAL); ten natural killer lymphoma (NKL)), seven cases with adult T-cell leukemia lymphoma (ATLL), 13 Hodgkin's disease (eight EBV-associated cases; five non-EBV-associated cases), and eight control cases (three reactive lymphadenopathy; five non-EBV-associated-B-cell lymphoma).
