CD5
From haematologyetc.co.uk
- Summary
- For mature B cell neoplasms: CD5 is used to indicate likely CLL or MCL. However, expression is present on a subset of normal B cells, and also less frequently on other lymphoma types. Full interpretation therefore requires consideration of clonality and other markers.
- In acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: CD5 is useful to indicate T lineage, with (relatively) low levels of aberrant expression.
