RESUMEN
The neurovirulence of two new candidate 17D-204 Stamaril™ working seed lots and that of two reference preparations were compared. The Stamaril™ working seed lots have been used for more than twenty years for the manufacturing of vaccines of acceptable safety and efficacy. The preparation designated RK 168-73 and provided by the Robert Koch Institute was used as a reference. It was confirmed that RK 168-73 strain was not a good virus control in our study because it has a very low neurovirulence regarding both the clinical and histopathological scores in comparison with Stamaril™ strain and is not representative of a vaccine known to be satisfactory in use. The results were reinforced by the phenotypic characterization by plaque assay demonstrating that RK 168-73 was very different from the Stamaril™ vaccine, and by sequencing results showing 4 mutations between Stamaril™ and RK 168-73 viruses leading to amino acid differences in the NS4B and envelop proteins.

We report the case of a 62-year-old patient presenting with 3 different patterns of follicular helper T-cell lymphoma. The patient initially presented with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma. A nodal relapse in the form of follicular T-cell lymphoma with a progressively transformed germinal center pattern occurred 8 years later. Two years later, this was followed by another relapse presenting as a predominantly large-cell peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified. All neoplastic cells expressed CD3, CD5, and CD2, with some neoplastic cells also expressing CD7. These cells also expressed CD4, with some expressing CD10, bcl-6, CXCL13, and programmed death-1, all of which are characteristic of the normal subset of follicular T-helper cells. The immunophenotype showed a progressive increase in the proportion of cells expressing CD10, bcl-6, CXCL13, and programmed death-1 from the first to the last lymphoma. In addition, neoplastic T cells from the last biopsy sample expressed CD20.
