Subject: CD4/CD8 coexpression in pb


We have noticed occasional cases with a fair amount of CD4/CD8
coexpression in peripheral bloods (up to 10% coexpression within the
lymphoid gate).  Most of these cases show no CMC or morphological
abnormalities and we are not sure about the clinical significance of
this findings.  Does anybody know a "non-malignant" explanation for this
finding?  QC of these antibodies looks fine.
 
Thanks for your help!
