dendritic cells function as the main cellular population responsible for professional antigen presentation and hence for induction of primary immune responses. although they are present in virtually every tissue, nevertheless their number is usually so low that it makes their isolation for studies very difficult. in this study, we purified dendritic cells from mouse spleen by a three-step enric...

Early T precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP ALL) is rare and has a characteristic phenotype. Mixed phenotype (MPAL), as per World Health Organization, needs to have two different lineages. On cytochemistry, myeloid lineage designated by more than 3% blast cells positivity for cytochemical myeloperoxidase (MPO). Flow cytometric analysis of MPO an arbitrary cutoff 10% been described in th...

Selective extraction of specific cell components by enzyme or acid hydrolysis is possible from ultrathin sections for electron microscopy and parallel 2 micro sections for light microscopy of tissues fixed in formalin and embedded in a water-soluble polyepoxide, product X133/2097. Normal rat tissues fixed 15 minutes in formalin at 3 degrees C are more rapidly digested by proteinases than those ...

Background: Leukemias are abnormal proliferation of hematopoietic cells, causing progressive infiltration the marrow. It is eleventh most common cancer in world, and increasingly found now developing countries. Two widely used classifications now, FAB, WHO classification, which has got supplanted with increasing knowledge on cytomorphology cytogenetics. This study, attempts to evaluate role cyt...
