Popis: Summary. The density of surface immunoglobulins on peripheral blood lymphocytes from 10 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and three patients with lymphosarcoma was examined using a sandwich radio-immunolabelling technique. In healthy people two populations of lymphocytes are seen: densely labelled cells with a high surface immunoglobulin density or B cells and lightly labelled T cells. CLL lymphocytes were found to comprise a single population with labelling characteristics of B lymphocytes in eight patients and of T lymphocytes in two patients. In the three lymphosarcoma patients grain count histograms revealed two or three populations where the abnormal lymphocytes fell into the T cell type in two and into the B cell group in one patient. There were no essential clinical differences between these three patients.
