Autotaxin expression in EBV-positive and EBV-negative HL
Autotaxin status of HRS cells . | EBV-positive . | EBV-negative . |
|---|---|---|
| Autotaxinhi | 10 | 6 |
| Autotaxinneg/autotaxinlo | 1 | 11 |
| Autotaxinhi, % | 91 (10 of 11) | 35 (6 of 17) |
Autotaxin status of HRS cells . | EBV-positive . | EBV-negative . |

HL cells were classified as autotaxinhi if autotaxin expression in HRS cells was equivalent to or higher than that observed in endothelial cells in the same section or as autotaxinneg/autotaxinlo if autotaxin expression in HRS cells was lower than in endothelial cells. Fisher exact test results show there was a significantly higher proportion of autotaxinhi tumors in the EBV-positive group (P = .006).
