Immunophenotyping of Nigerian cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas on paraffin sections.

Abstract:

:One hundred cases of routinely fixed and processed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma from Nigeria were immunostained with a small panel of monoclonal antibodies against B-, T- and macrophage antigens. The aims of the study were to assess the suitability of stored material from a country like Nigeria for immunohistochemical examination and the ability of the antibody panel to evaluate the distribution of B- and T-cell neoplasms. Eighty-seven of the 100 cases gave interpretable immunostaining, with 75 being B-cell and 12 T-cell neoplasms. Eighty-seven of the 100 cases gave interpretable immunostaining, with 75 being B-cell and 12 T-cell neoplasms. There were no tumours of macrophage lineage. Four cases gave satisfactory staining of reactive lymphoid cells but no reactivity with malignant cells and thus were not phenotyped. The remaining nine cases gave no staining of neoplastic or reactive cells, suggesting that they were unsuitable for immunohistochemical study, presumably because of inappropriate fixation and handling. We concluded that a panel of three monoclonal antibodies is suitable for routine immunostaining of conventionally fixed and processed blocks in Third World countries and will give diagnostically useful information in approximately 95% of cases.
