Specific phenotyping of T-cell proliferations in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. Use of antibodies to the T-cell receptor beta F1.

Antibody beta F1 to a common framework determinant of the beta subunit of the T-cell receptor (TCR) was used as a specific phenotypic marker for T-cell differentiation in malignant lymphomas. Sensitivity of immunoperoxidase staining in paraffin sections was enhanced by pronase pretreatment, overnight incubation of primary antibody in Tween 20, and use of streptavidin horseradish peroxidase complexes to amplify the reaction. All 43 cases of B-cell lymphoma were negative for TCR. Reed Sternberg (RS) cells in 3 of 20 cases of Hodgkin's disease exhibited cell membrane staining for TCR (all nodular sclerosis type), further evidence that some RS cells may be T-cell derived. Twenty-nine of 44 cases of T-cell lymphoma expressed TCR (66%). These included 11 of 12 cases of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) of small and mixed cell type, 8 of 9 cases of lymphoepithelioid cell (Lennert's) lymphoma, and 2 of 4 cases of T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. Loss of immunoreactivity for TCR occurred in lymphomas of large or activated T-cell type, including 7 of 9 cases of T-cell immunoblastic lymphoma and 3 of 4 cases of large cell PTCL. Antibody beta F1 is a specific and relatively sensitive marker of T-cell phenotype in formalin-fixed paraffin sections of malignant lymphomas.
