REED STERNBERG CELLS

From:David Grehan <david.grehan@olhsc.ie>

Does anyone have any neat suggestions concerning the demonstration of
Reed Sternberg cells when they are embedded in an intense inflammatory
background . We get many cases of Hodgkins disease in which the
infalmmatory background renders it difficult to be sure of CD15 positve
RS cells . We also stain for  RS  cells using CD30 which will not light
up inflammatory cells but is also nonspecific for this cell type. Does
anyone double immunostain for example?
Just curious.
