title: Surface markers in leukemias and lymphomas.
abstract: Cell marker analysis has contributed to a better understanding of the biology and morphology of the lymphomas, and its application to the lymphomas has provided important insights into the working of normal lymphocytes. In the process, the immunologist, the pathologist, the clnician who deals with lymphomas, and the patient have all benefited. Continued study of cellular differentiation through analysis of the lymphoproliferative disorders should shed further light on this difficult but fascinating area of medicine.
