Is cD10 expression in follicular lymphoma and large cell lymphoma different from that of reactive lymph node follicles?
Quantitative flow cytometry can detect significant differences in CD10 expression between normal follicular cells and follicular or diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The use of CD10 intensity of expression as well as the fraction of CD10-expressing B cells should help distinguish reactive from neoplastic B-cell processes.
The PCT ratio appears to be a valuable aid in deciding if further relaparotomies are necessary after initial operative treatment of an intraabdominal septic focus.
