French term

positivité membranaire

French to English Medical Medical (general) Retroperitoneal lymph node biopsy
Hi,

Under immunohistochemistry of fixed tissue I have different bullet points (CD20, CD3, CD21, etc.) and after the colon I have "positivité membranaire de la majorité des cellules lymphoides tumorales..." or "positivité membranaire d'assez nombreux petits lymphocytes..." or "positivité membranaire nette..."

Could we translate this as "membrane positivity"?

This is for a UK audience.

Thanks

Joanna

Note from asker:
Thanks Sue for this helpful information! I have a quick question: I sometimes have "positivité membranaire", "positivité cytoplasmatique vive"and sometimes just "positivité." Isn't "membranaire" important? I am unfortunately not able to upon the www.ccpathology site? Joanna
Please ignore my question! It's been a very long weekend... Were you able to open "www.ccpathology.com" site.
