Figure 1. Results of limiting dilution semiquantitative PCR analysis of DNA extracted from patients with the plasma cell type (cases I and 4) and the hyaline vascular type (case 5) ofCastleman's disease. Note the strong positivity for human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) in both cases of plasma cell Castleman's disease, as opposed to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is present in only case 4. Before PCR analysis, DNA was serialIy diluted 10-fold from 500 ng to 0.05 ng. Amplifications were performed with specific primers for human. a-globin, EBV [8], and HHV-8 [3], as described previously. Amplimers were analyzed on 1.5% agarose gels, transferred onto nylon membranes, and hybridized with 32P-labeled oligomer probes. lymphadenitis were included in the study as controls. DNA from an HHV-8-positive KS lesion and tubes without DNA (9] were used as positive and negative internal controls, respectively. None of the patients had, or subsequently had, KS or lymphoma in the year following biopsy.Lymph node samples and controls were processed in parallel according to the protocol of a 35-cycle PCR amplification starting with 500 ng of DNA obtained by proteinase K digestion, phenolchloroform extraction, and ethanol precipitation. Strict measures were followed throughout the entire procedure to monitor the occurrence of false-positive results [10]. DNA sequences of HHV-8 were detected by PCR analysis in all biopsy specimens from patients with plasma cell CD, while both biopsy specimens from patients with hyaline vascular CD and control lymph node biopsy specimens were negative. By contrast, EBV was found in only two biopsy specimens frOID patients with plasma cell CD and two biopsy specimens from HIV-infected patients with persistent generalized lymphadenopathy; all other biopsy specimens were negative. By limiting dilution, semiquantitative PCR analysis revealed striking differences in the HHV-8 and EBV loads in patients with plasma cell CD. In particular,
