Utility of monoclonal antibodies directed against B and T lymphocytes and monocytes in paraffin-embedded sections. 1983

S M Hsu, and H Z Zhang, and E S Jaffe

Monoclonal antibodies reactive with B and T lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes were applied to B-5-, Bouin's-, or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections. Most antigens were destroyed or masked by fixation or embedding procedures, or both. However, T200, an antigen present in all lymphoid and hematopoietic cells, and Leu M1, an antigen in granulocytes, were well preserved in formalin-fixed tissues. Leu 1 and BA-1, antigens present on T and B lymphocytes, respectively, were preserved in Bouin's-fixed specimens. With careful selection of fixatives, identification of some T and B lymphocytes and granulocytes by monoclonal antibodies in paraffin-embedded specimens is possible.
