Contributions of recent research to the classification of spontaneous lymphoid cell neoplasms in mice.
The present review focuses on the mouse as an experimental immunopathologic model for non-Hodgkins' lymphomas and related leukemias. Immunomorphologic evidence will be presented which demonstrates that B and T cell subtypes of mouse lymphoid cell neoplasms resemble and are analogous to B and T cell subtypes of human lymphoid cell neoplasms. The many experimental advantages of the mouse system will be stressed with a particular emphasis on the concept that this newly defined immunomorphologic approach should be effectively combined with biologic, molecular, and cytogenetic parameters.
