Nonetheless, CD8-predominant AITL exhibited more significant eosinophil increase [eosinophil cell count > 30/high power filed (HPF), 5/6, 83%, Figure 1D] than common AITL cases (1/12, 8%, P = 0.004), which is a distinguishing morphological feature. This evidence concerns the gene CD8A and angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma.
