The expression of mRNA for fibrinogen in megakaryocytes isolated from patients with T-cell lymphoma
Abstract
The expression of fibrinogen mRNA was studied by in situ hybridization in freshly isolated megakaryocytes in 14 newly-diagnosed patients: seven with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), three with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and four haematologically normal patients prior to coronary artery bypass surgery. Fibrinogen mRNA in megakaryocytes was not detected in ITP, B-cell lymphomas or in healthy donors. However, it was present in all patients with the high-grade T-cell lymphomas, both with and without thrombocytopenia.
