Immunophenotyping Flashcards
1
Q
Alk
A
- expressed in t(2;5) anaplastic large cell lymphoma
- can be positive in IMT from multiple sites
2
Q
bcl-1 (cyclin D1, PRADA-1)
A
- expressed in mantle cell lymphoma (nuclear staining)
- hairy cell leukemia and plasma cell neoplasm may also be positive
- breast and colon carcinoma are positive
3
Q
bcl-2
A
- Reactive lymph nodes expressed by
- T cells
- mantle B cells
- small number of mantle B cells that normally permeate the follicle center (increased in follicular lysis)
- Also positive in
- most low grade B cell lymphomas and many high grade B cell lymphomas
- expression in follicular lymphoma decreases with grade
- >95% in grade 1 and 75% in grade 3
- not expressed in Burkitt lymphoma; helpful to separate Burkitt from Burkittlike lymphoma
4
Q
bcl-6
A
- strongly expressed in normal germinal center B cells
- expressed in some lymphomas, including
- Burkitt lymphoma
- follicular lymphoma
- nodular lymphocyte predominant HL
- angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma
- subset of DLBCL
- ? anaplastic large cell lymphoma ?
5
Q
CD1a
A
- expressed by
- Langerhans cells
- dendritic reticulum cells
- interdigitating reticulum cells
- cortical thymocytes
- Langerhans cell histiocytosis shows coexpression of S100 and CD1a
6
Q
CD2
A
expressed by T and NK cells from a very early stage
7
Q
CD3
A
- expressed by T cells (mature and nonneoplastic)
- noncovalent association with TCR
- composed of 3 chains: gamma, delta, and epsilon
- cytoplasmic expression may be present in immature T cells and NK cells, which lack surface CD3
8
Q
CD4
A
- expressed by
- subset of T helper cells
- monocytes
- histiocytes
- dendritic cells
- normal CD4:CD8 in blood is 2-4:1
- CD4+/CD8+ T cells are normal only in thymus; otherwise probably neoplastic
- CD4-/CD8- T cells only normal in early T cell maturation
- most T cell neoplasms are CD4+
9
Q
CD5
A
- expressed by
- normal T cells
- small number of B cells
- not expressed by NK cells
- CD5 coexpression in B cells is hallmark of SLL/CLL and MCL
- sometimes lost in T cell neoplasms
- expressed in most thymic carcinomas
10
Q
CD7
A
- expressed by both T cells and NK cells
- CD7 loss is often seen in T cell neoplasms, especially cutaneous T cell lymphoma
- sometimes expressed in myeloblasts (M4 and M5 types)
11
Q
CD8
A
- expressed by CD4- T cells
- often expressed in neoplastic NK, T cytotoxic and T suppressor cells
12
Q
CD10 (CALLA)
A
- expressed by
- normal and neoplastic follicle center cells
- normal granulocytes
- follicular lymphoma (less so with higher grade)
- NLPHL
- angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma
- most B cell ALL
- often in plasma cell neoplasms
- nonhematolymphoid tumors
- RCC
- endometrial stromal sarcoma
- HCC (canalicular pattern)
13
Q
CD11b (MAC-1)
A
- normally expressed by monocytes and granulocytes
- positive in hairy cell leukemia
- AML with inv(16) or t(16;16)
- AML with t(9;11)
- Acute myelomonocytic leukemia
- Acute monocytic/monoblastic leukemia
14
Q
CD11c (C3r)
A
- normally expressed by monocytes and granulocytes
- strongly positive in hairy cell leukemia
- expressed weakly in CLL
- negative in MCL
15
Q
CD13
A
- expressed by granulocytes and precursors
- expressed in nearly all types of AML
- may be weakly expressed in ALL
16
Q
CD14
A
- expressed by monocytes
- variably expressed in AML with monocytic/monoblastic differentiation
- AML with t(9;11)
- AML with inv(16)
- Acute myelomonocytic leukemia
- Acute monocytic/monoblastic leukemia
17
Q
CD15 (Leu-M1)
A
- expressed in
- mature monocytes and granulocytes
- RS cells
- most adenocarcinomas
- negative in ALCL
- in AML, CD15 indicates a maturing phenotype
18
Q
CD16
A
expressed by normal and neoplastic NK cells and granulocytes
19
Q
CD19
A
- expressed by
- B cells from pro/pre B stage onward
- normal plasma cells, but lost in neoplasm
- dim in follicular lymphoma
- some myeloblasts, especially AML with t(8;21)
