Alteration of immunoglobulin-bearing lymphoma cells by fixation

R Warnke

Four large cell lymphomas known to be monoclonal B-cell proliferations were studied with immunofluorescent and immunohistochemical methods for the detection of kappa- and lambda-light chains. Frozen sections of lymphoma tissues as well as formalin and B-5-fixed tissues embedded in paraffin were studied. Both immunofluorescent and immunohistochemical methods gave similar results on frozen sections; however, a number of discrepancies were noted between the results obtained on fixed tissues and those obtained on frozen tissues. In an effort to identify a fixative which did not alter immunoglobulin (Ig), mouse lymph nodes were fixed in different fixatives before Ig detection; but all of the fixatives tested destroyed the Ig present on normal cortical B lymphocytes. Immunoglobulin-bearing normal and neoplastic lymphocytes are better detected on frozen sections than on paraffin sections after routine fixation.
