BCL6
Use
BCL6 antibody stains germinal center cells in lymphoid follicles, follicular cells and interfollicular cells in follicular lymphoma, a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, and Burkitt lymphoma, as well as the majority of Reed–Sternberg cells in nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma. It rarely stains mantle cell lymphoma and MALT lymphoma. Expression is seen in approximately half of CD30-positive anaplastic large cell lymphomas but is absent in other peripheral T‑cell lymphomas.
