Abstract

A panel of monoclonal antibodies (anti-CD45 [common leukocyte antigen], Ki-B3, L26, MT1, UCHL1, anti-CD15 [X-hapten], anti-neutrophil granule protein elastase [NP57]), anti-lysozyme, and the naphthol-ASD-chloroacetate reaction were applied to two cases of granulocytic sarcoma (GS) for evaluation of their utility in differentiating GS from malignant lymphoma. Lysozyme and naphthol-ASD-chloroacetate esterase were found to be the most reliable markers for detection of the myeloid nature of the tumour cells. GS infiltrated solely the mucosa of the nasal cavity in one case, while in the other it involved both the nasal cavity and maxillary sinus with simultaneous eruptions on the skin of the trunk. In both cases, peripheral blood and bone marrow findings were inconspicuous at the time of diagnosis of GS.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
