title: The reactivity of Reed-Sternberg cells with monoclonal antisera at thin section and ultrastructural levels.
abstract: In an attempt to improve the morphology of Reed-Sternberg cells after immunochemical procedures, the biotin-avidin technique has been used. Satisfactory morphology was obtained at the level of both light and electron microscopy. Reed-Sternberg cells failed to react with a monoclonal antimonocyte serum but gave positive results with anti-1a and FMC7, a monoclonal anti-B cell serum. Positive results were also obtained with FMC1 and B1 both of which are monoclonal B cell antisera.
