Expression of B7 family costimulatory molecules on B cells defines their capacity to function as antigen presenting cells (APCs), B cells that do not express B7 costimulatory molecules induce T-cell tolerance, Therefore, the expression of B7 costimulatory molecules on malignant B cells might be critical for their recognition by anti-tumor-specific T cells. Here we show that virtually all germinal center (GC)-derived B-cell lymphomas including follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large cell lymphoma, but not mantle cell lymphoma or small lymphocytic lymphomas (SLL/CLL), express B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86) on their cell surface in situ, although at extremely low levels, Despite their expression of low levels of B7-1 and B7-2, FL cells could not induce significant allogeneic T-cell proliferation, However, B7 costimulatory molecules on FL appeared to be functional because they were capable of increasing T-cell proliferation of preactivated T cells in a secondary allogeneic mixed lymphocyte response. Moreover, low B7 expression was sufficient to prevent the induction of alloantigen-specific anergy in vitro. Therefore, we postulate that whereas low-level expression of B7 is not sufficient to initiate a productive antilymphoma T-cell response, it might be sufficient to prevent T-cell tolerance in vivo.
