Hi all,
Sorry if this isn't the right place for this. I spent about an hour searching the web for an answer and couldn't find anything, so I figured I'd come straight to the source.
My question is, is there any way for pathologists to distinguish T cells from B cells? I understand that there are many different forms of B cells, and that plasma cells are histologically distinct, but what about other types of B cells? Or are flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry really the only way to get to this level of detail?
Please excuse me if my question comes off as ignorant, I am merely a soon-to-be-matriculating student
