Abstract
Context.—Individuals who are immune deficient are at an increased risk for developing lymphoproliferative lesions and lymphomas. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is 1 of 4 clinical settings associated with immunodeficiency recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in which there is an increased incidence of lymphoma and other lymphoproliferative disorders.
Objectives.—To describe the major categories of benign lymphoid proliferations, including progressive HIV-related lymphadenopathy, benign lymphoepithelial cystic lesions, and multicentric Castleman disease, as well as the different types of HIV-related lymphomas as defined by the WHO. The characteristic morphologic, immunophenotypic, and genetic features of the different entities will be discussed in addition to some of the pathogenetic mechanisms.
Data Sources.—The WHO classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues (2001 and 2008), published literature from PubMed (National Library of Medicine), published textbooks, and primary material from the authors' current and previous institutions.
Conclusions.—HIV infection represents one of the clinical settings recognized by the WHO in which immunodeficiency-related lymphoproliferative disorders may arise. Although most lymphomas that arise in patients with HIV infection are diffuse, aggressive B-cell lesions, other lesions, which are “benign” lymphoid proliferations, may also be associated with significant clinical consequences. These lymphoproliferations, like many other immunodeficiency-associated lymphoproliferative disorders, are often difficult to classify. Studies of HIV-associated lymphoid proliferations will continue to increase our understanding of both the immune system and lymphomagenesis.

Abstract
Lymphoid tissue inducer cells (LTi) are known for their role in embryonic lymphoid tissue development. We have identified LTi in adult tissues including spleen and thymus, and provide evidence here for their presence in the submucosa of the intestine. From these observations it is clear that LTi play multiple roles in the adaptive immune system, notably the ability to recruit and sustain primed CD4 T cells in environments where they provide help to other cells. We speculate that their human equivalents could be potential targets for HIV infection and their destruction explains the pattern of loss of CD4 T cells.

Abstract
This review highlights the role of a CD4(+)CD3(-) accessory cell in the development of organized lymphoid infrastructures as well as in the development of high-affinity antibody responses and T-cell memory. These 2 functions are linked in the development of the vertebrate immune system and are effected by the constitutive expression of 2 sets of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family members. The expression of lymphotoxin 3 (LT3), LT3, and TNF-3, which are closely linked genetically, affects the organization of lymphoid structures into B-cell and T-cell areas; the dual expression of OX40 ligand (TNFSF4) and CD30 ligand (TNFSF8) influences both the survival of T-cells within germinal centers and T-cell memory.

Abstract
Antiretroviral therapy increases the number of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the blood of HIV-1-positive patients with advanced disease. In the present study, we have examined the kinetics of CD4+ and CD8+ T cell restoration in blood and lymphoid tissue in asymptomatic HIV-1-positive individuals with high CD4+ cell counts during highly active antiretroviral treatment. Tonsillar biopsies and blood samples were collected at baseline and at regular intervals during the following 48 weeks and from HIV-1-negative controls. Mononuclear cells from blood and tonsils were phenotyped and quantified by three-color flow cytometry. After 48 weeks of therapy, blood CD4+ cell counts in the HIV-1-infected group were comparable to those found in uninfected controls. Naive CD4+ T cells in blood increased during the initial 2 weeks in parallel with reduced plasma viremia. Both naive and memory CD4+ T cells in blood reached normal numbers by week 48, whereas the CD4+ naive/memory cell ratio in tonsils was within normal range throughout the study. The level of memory CD8+ T cells in blood declined during the first 8 weeks in parallel with a reduction in the tonsillar memory CD8+ T cells. Naive CD8+ T cells in the blood increased after 4 weeks, while the level of naive CD8+ T cells in tonsils remained unaltered. Our data indicate that in the early stages of HIV-1 infection antiretroviral therapy normalizes CD4+ cell counts and causes a decrease in the level of memory CD8+ cells in blood and lymphoid tissue, suggesting reduced CD8+ cell turnover in response to reduced viral replication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the effects of antiretroviral therapy on T cell activation in blood and tonsils from HIV-1 infected individuals in relation to CD4 cell count, plasma viremia, and infectious HIV-1 provirus. DESIGN A 48-week study of viral load and T cell subsets in blood and tonsils from 12 HIV-1-positive individuals with a mean CD4 cell number of 400 x 10(6) cells/l treated with a combination of zidovudine, lamivudine, and indinavir. METHODS Tonsil biopsies and blood samples were collected at regular intervals. Lymphocytes were phenotyped and quantified by three-color flow cytometry; infectious provirus was quantified by a limiting dilution assay. HIV-1-negative individuals were included as controls. RESULTS The fraction of tonsillar CD8 T cells expressing CD69, CD38, or HLA-DR in the patients with suppressed virus replication declined to levels comparable with that in controls by 48 weeks and showed a strong positive correlation with tonsillar infectious provirus and plasma viremia. The level of CD4 T cell activation was within normal range in tonsils throughout the study. The fraction of HLA-DR+ cells within CD4 and CD8 T cells in blood declined rapidly in parallel with plasma viremia but remained slightly higher compared with that in uninfected individuals. CONCLUSION Antiretroviral therapy normalizes tonsillar CD8 T cell activation in HIV-1-positive individuals in parallel with suppression of viral replication, indicating reduced CD8 cell turnover. Normal tonsillar CD4 T cell activation suggests limited CD4 cell turnover in early HIV infection. Activated CD8 T cells in lymphoid tissue is superior to that in blood as an immunological marker for the virological response to antiretroviral therapy.

Abstract
The immunopathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection has been associated with increased death by apoptosis of T cell subsets. In the present study, we have examined correlates of apoptosis of CD4+, CD8S+CD28+, and CD8+CD28- T cells in tonsillar lymphoid tissue in persons with HIV-1. Single-cell suspensions of tonsillar lymphocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry to determine the fraction of cells showing typical characteristics of apoptosis as well as the expression of activation markers within the live and the apoptotic cell populations. The proportion of cells carrying infectious provirus was quantified by limiting dilution analysis. Compared with uninfected controls, apoptosis of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was enhanced in HIV-1 infection and was higher among CD8+ than among CD4+ T cells. Apoptosis of CD28-cells was more prevalent than apoptosis of CD28+ cells for both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Occurrence of apoptosis of CD4+ T cells correlated with provirus levels and proportional expression of the activation marker HLA-DR. Apoptosis of CD8+CD28+ cells correlated with expression of the activation markers CD69 and HLA-DR while apoptosis within CD8+CD28- cells did not correlate with any of the studied parameters. Although apoptosis was much more prevalent among CD8+ than CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells still accumulated in tonsillar lymphoid tissue in persons with HIV-1. Our data may be interpreted to suggest that apoptosis of CD4+, CD8+CD28+, and CD8+CD28- cells in tonsillar tissue is regulated by different mechanisms and the results are of importance to our understanding of the immunopathogenesis of HIV-1 infection.

Abstract
Sixty-five FNA cytology procedures were performed on lymph nodes in 52 HIV+ patients. Cervical lymph nodes were the commonest site of FNA cytology investigation (54%). The diagnoses were persistent generalized lymphadenopathy (38%), infection (17%), and malignancy (11%). Diagnosis could not be rendered in 25% of FNA cytology due to inadequate sampling. Of those with infection, mycobacterial disease was the commonest cause (91%), the diagnosis of which was enhanced by concurrent microbiological examination. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was the commonest malignancy. Sixteen lymph node FNA cytologies had subsequent tissue biopsy. There were two false-positive and four false-negative FNA cytologies. FNA cytology in HIV+ patients is most useful in the diagnosis of infection, obviating the need for tissue biopsy and allowing prompt initiation of treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE CD4+ T cells are the main target for HIV. However, the highest HIV antigen concentration in infected subjects accumulates on the cell surface of follicular dendritic cells in the germinal centres of the lymphoid tissue. Germinal centres contain a T-helper cell subset which expresses CD57 molecules. Here we analysed virus replication and viral load in CD57+CD4+ germinal centre T cells and in the CD4+ T cells found mostly outside germinal centres (CD57-CD4+). METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells and lymph-node cells were prepared, stained for CD4 and CD57 and purified by FACS. Defined cell numbers of CD4+CD57+ cells and CD4+CD57- cells were sorted directly into polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tubes by FACS, equipped with an automated cell deposition unit and analysed by PCR to detect proviral DNA. Based on Poisson distribution, the expected level of infection was calculated. Viral replication was determined by amplifying double-spliced, single-spliced, and full-length transcripts of HIV using serially diluted cDNA of the FACS-sorted cells. RESULTS An up to 10-fold higher frequency of infected cells was found in the CD57+CD4+ germinal centre T cells compared with CD57-CD4+ T cells. Furthermore, active viral replication was detected almost exclusively in the CD57+CD4+ T cells. CONCLUSIONS The CD57+CD4+ germinal centre T cells are one of the sites of HIV infection and replication that may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of HIV infection.

Abstract
In human plasma, HIV activates the complement system, even in the absence of specific antibodies. Complement activation would, however, be harmful to the virus if the reactions were allowed to go to completion, since their final outcome would be virolysis. This is avoided by complement regulatory molecules, which either are included in the virus membrane upon budding from the infected cells (e.g. DAF/CD55) or are secondarily attached to HIV envelope glycoproteins as in the case of factor H. By using this strategy of interaction with complement components, HIV takes advantage of human complement activation for enhancement of infectivity, for follicular localization, and for broadening its target cell range at the same time that it displays an intrinsic resistance against the lytic action of human complement. This intrinsic resistance to complement-mediated virolysis can be overcome by monoclonal antibodies inhibiting recruitment of human factor H to the virus surface, suggesting a new therapeutic principle.

Abstract
Thirty-three out of 39 cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) infected with SIVsm (strain SMM-3) developed various pathologies similar to those seen in human AIDS. Lymphadenopathy was frequently seen (72%) and was characterized by hyperplasia followed by involution of follicle/germinal centres due to follicular dendritic cell (FDC) destruction corresponding to the degree of immunodeficiency. Various organs such as the lungs, liver, central nervous system, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system and adrenals showed histopathological changes with prominent monocyte/macrophage and multinucleated giant cell formation. Eighteen (54%) monkeys presented with extranodal malignant lymphoma (ML) associated with marked CD4 decrease and destruction of follicular architecture. The high frequency of ML, giant cell disease and lymph node changes seen in the present SIV model provides an attractive system to elucidate the role of FDC and monocytes/macrophages in the pathogenesis of these conditions in common with HIV infection and human AIDS.

Abstract
A non-opportunistic, generalized giant cell disease (GCD) was found in 12 out of 25 (48%) cynomologus monkeys infected with SIVsm. Most organs were affected notably the lymph nodes (LN), spleen, gut, liver, lungs and CNS. The multinucleated GC varied considerably in cell size and in the number and cytoplasmic distribution of the nuclei. Immunohistochemically most GC expressed SIV antigens and markers of mononuclear phagocytes (CD68), CD4 and also occasionally the T-cell markers CD45RO, CD43 and CD2. Monkeys with GCD had more pronounced immunosuppression with lower CD4-cell counts, more often demonstrable SIV antigen in the blood and LN and had been infected for a longer time period, as compared to monkeys without GCD. These findings show that SIV infection in cynomolgus monkeys is frequently associated with extensive formation of multinucleated GC of macrophage origin, which appears to be related to the pathogenesis of the infection and the degree of immunosuppression.
