SOX11 Immunostain, Technical Component Only
Use
SOX11 (SRY-box transcription factor 11) is a transcription factor involved in embryonic neurogenesis and tissue remodeling. Nuclear SOX11 is expressed in most B- and T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphomas and a proportion of Burkitt lymphomas, but only weakly expressed in some hairy cell leukemias. Mantle cell lymphomas show SOX11 expression and it has been suggested to correlate with overall survival. This test is useful for the identification of mantle cell lymphomas.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The test does not include pathologist interpretation, only technical performance of the stain. Interpretation of this test should be performed in the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist. The age of a cut paraffin section can affect immunoreactivity, and stability thresholds vary depending on the antigen. The quality of glass slides can affect staining results, with incorrect storage conditions potentially leading to inconsistent staining.
