Determining the immune environment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma lesions through the assessment of lesional blood drops

Abstract Detailed analysis of the cells that infiltrate lesional skin cannot be performed in skin biopsy specimens using immunohistochemistry or cell separation techniques because enzyme treatments applied during the isolation step can destroy small amounts of protein and minor cell populations in t...
