- Summary
- CD79b is a pan-B-cell marker expressed from early commitment to B-cell lineage then becoming lost during plasma cell differentiation; CD79b may be used as marker of B-cel lineage, but its more variable expression make it less useful than CD79a or CD19 in this context
- The major diagnostic value of CD79b is its characteristically weak-expression in CLL
Normal expression and function
The two forms of CD79 (CD79a and CD79b) each associate directly with the immunoglobulin chains to control signalling from the B-cell receptor. Expression of both CD79a and CD79b is therefore acquired at early B-lymphocyte formation (initially in cytoplasm then membrane) and persist until plasma cell differentiation. However, while both CD79a and CD79b may be considered pan B-cell antigens, expression of CD79b is acquired later and is lost earlier than for CD79a.
Diagnostic role
- The most useful attribute of CD79b is its variable intensity of expression - in particular the characteristically weak intensity of expression of CD79b in CLL is often used as a diagnostic criterion
SUMMARY TABLES
Note The colour and % refer to the proportion of cases expressing the marker. Additional comments on strength, or site of expression (if relevant) are given below the table.
