Quantitative study of the immunoglobulin-containing cells in trephine samples of bone marrow.
Immunoglobulin (Ig) was demonstrated in paraffin sections of 12 trephine bone marrow biopsies by means of the unlabelled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method. The Ig-containing cells, which were counted with the Reichert-Jung (Kontron) MOP-AMO(3) user-controlled image-analyser, were found to constitute approximately 4.2% of all the nucleated cells in the marrow, a figure significantly higher than those reported by previous workers.
