Are Reed-Sternberg/CD30 (ki-1) cells generally found by FCM methodologies?
Are there any tripple staining techniques to specifically select for these
cells? Maybe CD30 FITC with CD5 PE and CD19 CY5-PE ? What are the light
scatter properties Reed-Sternberg cells? We have not had the opportunity to
correlate FCM-CD30 with histological staining. ANY comments would be
appreciated. The literature suggests some expression of CD30 in some
non-Hodgkins lymphomas.
