CD47 and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: Also, CD47 expression was increased in disseminated tumoral cells in control DLBCL xenograft animals, as well as in peripheral blood lymphoma cells compared with lymph node tumoral cells from NHL patients (although note peripheral blood and lymph node cells were not harvested from the same patients), further supporting a role for CD47 in the dissemination of B-NHL tumor cells [33].
