title: Hodgkin's disease - a 'B' neoplasm?
abstract: Lymph node tissue from 2 patients with Hodgkin's disease was studied by light microscopy using the immunoperoxidase technique with a panel of monospecific antisera. Hodgkin's mononuclear and Reed-Sternberg cells were shown to exhibit features characteristic of B cells. The possibility that Hodgkin's disease is a B-cell neoplasm is discussed.
