Pagetoid reticulosis. Histiocyte marker studies.

Epidermal mononuclear cell infiltrate from three patients with pagetoid reticulosis was examined for the presence of the cytoplasmic markers lysozyme, alpha 1-antitrypsin and alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, using specific antisera and a peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. Many of the infiltrating cells possessed these markers, indicating that they belonged to the monocyte-macrophage-histiocyte series.
