Abstract excerpt
The expression of a fibroblast antigen (AS02) on a proportion of CD21+ follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) provides evidence in support of their fibroblastic reticular origin. This antigen is expressed on the membrane of tissue fibroblasts but is absent from lymphocytes, macrophages or granulocytes. The distribution of AS02 in conjunction with other FDC markers (DRC-1, RFD3, CD23, IgM, and vitronectin) showed six...
