The number and growth pattern of plasmacytoid dendritic cells vary in different types of reactive lymph nodes: an immunohistochemical study
MA Rollins-Raval, T Marafioti, SH Swerdlow, CG Roth - Human Pathology, 2013 - Elsevier
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells, which play a fundamental role in the innate immune response,
are best known for their presence in hyaline-vascular Castleman disease and histiocytic
necrotizing lymphadenitis. The relative number and distribution in many reactive entities as
detected using more sensitive methods are uncertain, and their diagnostic implications are
unknown. Immunohistochemical studies for plasmacytoid dendritic cell-associated markers
CD123 and CD2AP were performed on 42 lymph nodes with hyaline-vascular Castleman …
