We performed indirect immunofluorescence with the OKT series of hybridoma monoclonal antibodies in order to determine the total number of T cells and their subset distribution, that is, the percentages of helper (OKT3+T4+T8−) and suppressor/cytotoxic (OKT3+T4+T8+) T cells, in 28 ocular adnexal lymphoid neoplasms. OKT3+T4+(helper) T cells vastly predominated in each of ten benign, polyclonal ocular lymphoid proliferations. The helper-suppressor T-cell ratio (T4–8) ranged from 2.5 to 8.2 (mean, 5.4) in these ten cases. In comparison, the mean T4–T8 ratio in 24 benign reactive lymph nodes was 3.4. These findings strongly suggested that the polyclonal ocular lymphoid proliferations represent a T-cell antigen-dependent response characterized by a proliferation of helper T cells, which in turn drive B cells to proliferate and to differentiate, eventually resulting in the formation of a clinically detectable tumor. The mean T4-T8 ratio was 2.3 in 18 ocular and in 16 nodal monoclonal B-cell proliferations, suggesting that the benign T cells in these proliferations represent a residual cell population rather than a distinctive subset originating in response to the B-cell neoplasm.
