Abstract
A mixed breed dog was diagnosed with large granular lymphocytic leukemia. Immunophenotypic analysis indicated the lymphocytes were CD3+, CD8+ T cells expressing the alpha beta T cell receptor and a leukointegrin, alpha d. Chemotherapy and splenectomy resulted in an initial reduction in the lymphocyte count.
