Abstract

Immunocytochemistry was used to examine 26 cases of composite lymphoma in the mouse mesenteric lymph node. The diagnosis was made by light microscopic criteria. A selection of polyclonal antibodies to light (Kappa and Lambda) and heavy chain (IgD, IgM, IgC, IgA, IgE) antigens was used together with three monoclonal antibodies to T cells, B cells (HLA-DR) and macrophages. Twenty lymphomas were classified as B cell and six as T cell. The B cells were subdivided into IgM and IgD (five), IgD (five), IgM (three) and IgA (one), three undifferentiated and, in three, there was insufficient tissue for further typing. There did not appear to be any correlation between the morphological appearance and the immunophenotype.
