Fig. 2. Microenvironmental interactions in cHL supporting HRS-cell survival and proliferation.

Fig. 2

Shown are main cellular interactions in the cHL microenvironment that promote the survival and/or proliferation of HRS cells. The HRS cell-supporting immune cells and fibroblasts are actively recruited into the microenvironment by a multitude of cytokines and chemokines secreted by the HRS cells. HRS cells in many cHL cases still express MHC class II, so that in addition to the interactions between HRS cells and CD4+ Th cells shown also a binding of MHC class II to the TCR is possible (not depicted).
