Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies against lymphoid cell-associated antigens have contributed substantially to our understanding of cutaneous lymphomas. The distribution and function of the most important T- and B-cell antigens are summarized and their expression on cutaneous lymphomas is discussed. Monoclonal antibodies can provide a valuable diagnostic approach to supplement routine histology, especially in histologically doubtful cases.
