Etiological, Clinical and Prognostic Significance of the T-B Immunological Classification of Primary Acute Lymphoid Leukemias and Non Hodgkin’s Lymphomas

Abstract
The identification of immunological membrane markers on normal human mononuclear leukocytes has permitted their classification into a T (thymodependent) and a B (thymoindependent) lymphocyte group (2, 3, 19, 45, 47, 56, 57), as well as a third group “non-T non-B”, which includes monocytes (23) and other cells, the precise origin of which is still unclear (8).
