چکیده
A series of 20 bone marrow trephines biopsy and necropsy specimens were stained for IgA1 and IgA2 activity, together with total IgA, by means of an indirect immunoperoxidase technique using murine monoclonal antibodies applied to paraffin sections. The specimens showed normal histology and had been taken from patients not known to be suffering from haematological or related systemic disease. The IgA,, IgA2, and total IgA containing cells were counted and expressed as a percentage of all nucleate cells in the marrow cavities. Remarkably constant percentages of and ratios between these cell types were found. The same was true for a further 10 trephines taken from patients undergoing staging procedures for epithelial malignancies, where the

متن کاملA Novel 2-Part System for the Culture of Bone Marrow Specimens for Cytogenetics Analysis
Introduction The successful culture of bone marrow specimens is one of the most difficult challenges that cytogenetics labs experience. Two significant differences between bone marrow and other specimen types are that they are frequently smaller in size and more easily damaged in transport. These observations led to the realization that improvements in growth and morphology through medium optim...
