AI Colovai, C Giatzikis, EK Ho, M Farooqi… - Modern Pathology, 2004 - Elsevier
Spleen is surgically removed for both non-neoplastic and neoplastic pathologies. A
significant proportion of splenectomy specimens require distinguishing between reactive
and neoplastic conditions (eg lymphoma). To establish a 'normal'reference range for the
spleen lymphocyte subsets, fresh samples of benign, reactive spleens obtained from adult
patients (N= 12) and samples of normal spleen obtained from cadaveric transplant donors
(N= 14) were analyzed using three-and four-color flow cytometry. Study of pan-B,-T, and-NK …
