Formation of mouse red cell rosettes by "hairy" cells.
Rosette formation with mouse red cells was observed in the "hairy" cells of four cases of leukaemic reticuloendotheliosis. A similar observation was made on B-lymphocytes from chronic lymphoid leukaemia but the monocytes in monocytoid leukaemia did not form rosettes. This finding provides new evidence for the B-cell nature of the "hairy" cell.
