Abstract An immunohistochemical double‐staining technique was applied to frozen sections of biopsies from subcutaneous rheumatoid nodules. Material within the central necrosis reacted with anti‐immunoglobulin and anti‐HLA‐DR antibodies. Cells palisading layer were “macrophage‐like,” as indicated by staining for OKM1, showed a high proliferative activity seen OKT9 reactivity. The granulation zone contained many (αLeu‐1+) T cells in close contact HLA‐DR‐expressing non‐T cells.
