IgD Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
Use
The IgD antibody reacts with immunoglobulin Ig delta chains and is used for identifying leukemias, plasmacytomas, and B-cell lineage lymphomas, particularly marginal zone lymphoma. Cytoplasmic staining is clearly observable on paraffin-embedded tissue. IgD staining is also present in normal mantle zone B-lymphocytes.
