A simple cytochemical method for distinguishing EAC rosettes formed by lymphocytes and monocytes.
A simple cytochemical method for EAC rosettes in suspension is described which allows an easy distinction between rosettes formed by lymphocytes and monocytes. The method is based on the fact that monocytes, in contrast to lymphocytes, possess a specific cytoplasmic esterase.
