Abstract

Several laboratories have recently reported the establishment and characterization of long-term cell lines thought to be related to the neoplastic cell of Hodgkin's disease. Here, Harris et al. discuss evidence that some of these lines are, in fact, not related to Hodgkin's disease but are non-human contaminants.
