Indeed, in the absence of IFN stimulation, the Burkitt's lymphoma Ramos cells transcribed much lower amounts of either transcript than the activated B cell-like diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) HBL-1 cells, whereas Burkitt's lymphoma Raji and germinal centre B cell-like DLBCL OCI-Ly1 cells were intermediate (Figure 3C). Here, IFNA1 is linked to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
