  • Title: T lymphocytes in malignant, non-lymphoid human tumours detected by esterase technique.
    Author: Svennevig JL.
    Journal: Scand J Immunol; 1980; 12(6):513-7. PubMed ID: 6166038.
    Abstract:
    The alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE) method, leading to distinct brownish-red dots in the cytoplasm of T lymphocytes, was used to identify these cells in cryostat sections from eighteen malignant tumours. Esterase-positive lymphocytes were found in all tumours, the highest number in the peritumoural stroma. The reliability of the method was tested on lymph nodes, on fixed E-rosetting lymphocytes and on cryostat sections from peripheral blood lymphocytes.
