Stromal cell populations of normal and melanoma infiltrated human lymph nodes

This study sought to examine distinctive subpopulations of CD90+ stromal cells present in melanoma-infiltrated lymph nodes and compare them to their counterparts in normal lymph nodes. Conclusion: At least 3 distinct subpopulations of non-haematopoietic, non-endothelial (CD31- CD144-) CD90+ stromal cells were identified in both normal and melanoma infiltrated lymph nodes. Notes: Saem Mul Park contributed equally as a Primary Researcher. Anna E.S. Brooks (Manager) oversaw the design and development of flow cytometry panel used.
