title: Antibody probes in diagnosis and classification of lymphomas.
abstract: The use of immunohistochemistry is discussed with respect to its role in assisting with the classification and diagnosis of lymphomas. Attention is drawn to methods of achieving optimal tissue fixation and preparation, which are necessary prerequisites for the precise cytochemical demonstration of the various lymphocyte and related cell type markers.
