Classification of Mouse Lymphoid Cell Neoplasms

Abstract

Following recent advances in the reclassification of human lymphoid cell neoplasms (Lukes and Collins 1975; Lennert et al. 1975), Pattengale and Taylor (1983) have reclassified murine lymphoid cell neoplasms using a newer immunomorphologic schema that is biologically and scientifically more accurate than previous classifications. This proposed classification can be easily taught, easily learned, is reproducible, and, because lymphoproliferative disease in the mouse closely resembles that of humans, it is clinically useful.KeywordsLymphoid CellSmall LymphocyteLymphoblastic LymphomaHistiocytic SarcomaScant CytoplasmThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
