Immunocytological characterization of the mycosis fungoides tumour cell.
The immunocytological identification of the mycosis fungoides cell was carried out on cells extracted from the tumorous nodules of a patient suffering from typical mycosis fungoides. Various techniques, such as E and IgM-EAC rosettes and examination for surface membrane immunoglobulins, were performed on the peripheral blood cells and the tumour cell. Membrane staining with a specific anti-T lymphocyte serum conjugated with peroxidase confirmed the thymodependent origin of the mycosis fungoides cell. However, the immunolabelling (with Fab peroxidase conjugate was found constantly negative.
