T-cell membrane characteristics of "mycosis cells" in the skin and lymph node
Abstract:
In some patients with mycosis fungoides atypical cells ("mycosis cells") are found in the blood. Recently the T-cell membrane characteristics of these atypical cells have been described. In this paper the results of a study of the atypical cells isolated from the lymph nodes and the skin lesions of three patients with mycosis fungoides are presented. Using electron microscopy, it could be demonstrated that the atypical cells formed rosettes with uncoated sheep red blood cells, but not with antibody-complement-coated sheep erythrocytes, indicating the T-cell membrane characteristics of the atypical cells.

Lymphoid Cells and Tissues
Lymphoid cells consist of various types of immune system cells. These include B and T lymphocytes, which are responsible for producing antibodies and killing infected cells, respectively. Dendritic cells act as messengers between the innate and adaptive...
Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
