Bcl6 Antibody

Antibody to Bcl-6 is helpful in a number of diagnostic settings: First, in the differential diagnosis of small B-cell lymphoma. Follicular lymphoma will show Bcl-6 (and CD10) positivity whereas other small B-cell lymphomas are usually negative. Second, Bcl-6 is an important prognostic marker in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL), where CD10, Bcl-6 and MUM1/IRF4 are used to identify germinal center and activated B-cell phenotypes. Third, Bcl-6 can be valuable in distinguishing classical Hodgkin lymphoma from nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) . The Reed-Sternberg cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma are bcl-6 negative whereas the large (L&H) cells of NLPHL are bcl-6 positive. In contrast, anti-Bcl-6 rarely stains mantle-cell lymphoma and MALT lymphoma.
