Orderable Test Description
BCL6 antibody stains the germinal center cells in lymphoid follicles, the follicular cells and interfollicular cells in follicular lymphoma, a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, and Burkitt lymphoma, as well as the majority of Reed-Sternberg cells in nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma. In contrast, BCL6 rarely stains mantle cell lymphoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. BCL6 expression is seen in approximately half of CD30+ anaplastic large cell lymphomas but is absent in other peripheral T-cell lymphomas.
