    Notes: Specimens of normal peripheral nerve and a series of peripheral nerve lesions have been immunostained with three different anti-epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) monoclonal antibodies. Sites of EMA immunoreactivity have been confirmed within perineurial cells of peripheral nerve, noted within the capsule of Schwannomas and palisaded encapsulated neuromas, and also detected with traumatic neuromas and plexiform neurofibromas. No expression was detected within simple neurofibromas, diffuse neurofibromas or within malignant Schwannomas. These sites of EMA expression concur with the suggested involvement of perineurial cells in the formation of the particular lesions. The relationship between EMA expression by the perineurium and the piaarachnoid membrane is discussed.

    Notes: Tissue from 86 cases of Hodgkin's disease, fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin, was immunostained for the T-cell marker CD3. Of these cases, 20 were selected on the basis of previous reactivity of Reed-Sternberg cells for T-cell associated antigens in frozen sections whilst the remaining 66 were retrieved from the routine pathology files. Five of the 20 selected cases and 22 of the retrieved cases showed predominantly cytoplasmic positivity in a subpopulation of Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells. CD3 positive cells were present in all subtypes of Hodgkin's disease including three of nine lymphocyte predominance cases. It therefore appears that some Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells can express the major T-cell antigen CD3. Although these findings are open to other interpretations, they are consistent with the hypothesis that at least some cases of Hodgkin's disease arise from activated T-cells.

    Notes: CD 3 antigen expression was studied in a series of 98 T-cell lymphomas, using polyclonal antibodies which recognize this molecule in routinely processed, paraffin-embedded, tissue. We identified 40 cases in which CD3 was present on only a proportion of the neoplastic cells. This phenomenon of heterogeneous CD3 expression was commonest in pleomorphic T-cell lymphomas (22/42 cases) and in CD30 (Ki-1)-positive lymphomas (5/11 cases), and was less frequently observed in mycosis fungoides (4/18 cases) and not seen in T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (0/9 cases). CD3 expression was often related to cell morphology, with CD3 antigen being present on the smaller neoplastic cells but absent from the larger ones. The diagnostic significance of these observations is that, on occasion, it may be possible to diagnose a lymphoma as being of T-cell origin in paraffin sections by demonstrating a minor subpopulation of CD3-positive neoplastic cells.

    Notes: The prognostic value of immunophenotyping lymphomas was assessed by studying 51 cases of high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for which long term clinical follow-up (14–28 years) was available. Using antibodies which identify T- and B-cell-related antigens in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material, 43 were shown to be of B-cell and eight of T-cell phenotype. In terms of survival, cases of high-grade T-cell lymphoma fared significantly worse (P 〈 0.05) than cases of high-grade B-cell subtype. These findings support the belief that T-cell lymphomas have a more aggressive clinical course than their B-cell counterparts.

    Notes: The production and characterization of a new monoclonal antibody, Y2/51, against platelet glycoprotein IIIa is described. A useful feature of this antibody is its ability to recognize platelets and megakaryocytes in formalin-fixed routinely processed material. It could also be used to reveal platelets both in thrombi in large vessels and in microthrombi too small to be readily apparent on conventional microscopic examination. For this purpose it was helpful to use the antibody in conjunction with a new monoclonal reagent (Ret40f) against red cell sialoglycoprotein β-which detects red cells and their precursors in routinely processed tissue. The use of these antibodies should be valuable for the detection of thrombi in a variety of situations such as renal transplant rejection, coronary artery disease and vasculitis.

    Notes: In an immunocytochemical study of 41 human lung tumours we have shown that Langerhans cells can be reliably identified using the anti-CD1 monoclonal antibody NA1/34. Langerhans cells are present in all the main varieties of human lung tumour although they are infrequent in both small cell carcinoma and carcinoid tumour. There is considerable variation in numbers of Langerhans cells in both adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas. In this study tumours were divided into those with high numbers of Langerhans cells (〉 2 per high power field) and those with low numbers (〈 2 per high power field). Analysing these results against patient survival showed a markedly worse survival in those tumours with a high number of Langerhans cells for all the tumours as a single group and for squamous cell carcinoma as a single entity.

    Notes: There has recently been much interest in the patterns of follicular dendritic reticulum cells (DRC) in pathological lymph nodes, particularly in relation to the phenomenon of DRC break-up (thought to be pathognomonic of AIDS-related lymphadenopathies) and to progressive transformation of germinal centres (as a possible precursor of lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's disease). In the present study we have immunostained twenty-nine reactive lymph nodes and five tonsils with monoclonal antibody R4/23 (DAKO-DRC) in order to evaluate the frequency of such changes in lymphoid tissue unaffected by AIDS or Hodgkin's disease. Most of the specimens contained typical secondary follicles with clearly defined germinal centres and mantle zones. There were two variants in lymph nodes showing follicular hyperplasia characterized by (i) progressive transformation of germinal centres and (ii) inclusions of nests of small lymphocytes within germinal centres. In each of these types of follicles the compact evenly-distributed meshwork of DRCs, as previously described, was seen. However there were considerable variations in DRC meshwork in each category (the pattern could not be predicted from the morphology) with examples in all three of the DRC break-up previously considered specific for the AIDS related lymphadenopathy. Since none of the lymph nodes and tonsils studied had any known relationship to either Hodgkin's disease or AIDS it is argued that none of the changes in the DRC meshwork observed are specific for these conditions.

    Notes: With the increase in the use of bone marrow trephines for diagnosis have come numerous reports that traditional methods of preparation (by decalcification and embedding in paraffin wax) should be replaced by plastic embedding to avoid decalcification. It has been argued that only by this means can the high quality preparations needed for accurate haematopathological diagnosis be achieved. The present study challenges this viewpoint and argues that with a little extra care and attention conventional paraffin embedding techniques can give equally high quality preparations. Sections prepared in this way meet the diagnostic needs of the haematologist, without requiring a separate technique to be established in the pathology laboratory solely for bone marrow trephines.
