Abstract
The identification of mononuclear cells extracted from 12 basal cell carcinomas has been carried out by means of various assays such as the E rosette test, FITC anti-Ig conjugates and peroxidase conjugates viewed at an ultrastructural level. The relative quantities of B and T cells have been determined as well as the morphology of the extracted cells. It was found that the T/B ratio is close to that of a delayed-type reaction to tuberculin, suggesting a possible identical immune mechanism, and also that the morphological appearance of some tissue lymphocytes differs from that of circulating lymphocytes due to the presence of both membrane and cytoplasmic Ig.Keywords
