Abstract
ANAE and ATPase stains were done in 16 cases of chronic nonspecific lymphadenitis. The cases which contain many ANAE-droplet positive cells were shown low percentage of ATPase positive cells. On the contrary, the cases which predominate ATPase positive cells were decreased ANAE-droplet positive cells. In addition, there were seen the correlation of reactive pattern in lymph nodes between quantitative change of ATPase positive cells and that of ANAE-droplet positive cells, that is, ATPase activities and follicular hyperplasia, as well as ANAE activities and enlargement of paracortical area (T zone) . In order to investigate quantitative change of T and B cell in lymph node diseases, it is necessary to use the combined method, that is, specific stains for T and B cell.
