BOB1
Use
BOB1 is present in all B‑cells expressing immunoglobulin. The combination of BOB1 and OCT2 staining is helpful in distinguishing between classical Hodgkin lymphoma (at least one marker negative) and nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma or T‑cell histiocyte‑rich large B‑cell lymphoma (both markers expressed).
