Malignant lymphoma with B-lymphocyte characteristics in dogs

Cell surface membrane characteristics of B and T lymphocytes were demonstrated on cells from canine malignant lymphoma, and the results were compared with cytologic classification. Lymphoma in 4 of 5 dogs was found to have one or more characteristics of B lymphocytes. Correlation between the cytologic classification and the presence of B- and T-lymphocyte characteristics was not apparent.
