Orderable Test Description
LMO2 protein is expressed in normal human germinal-center (GC) and GC-derived lymphomas. In addition, it is also expressed at high levels in endothelial cells, spleen, hematopoietic precursors, and a significant proportion of acute lymphoblastic and myeloid leukemias. In diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), LMO2 protein expression is aligned with GC markers HGAL, CD10 and BCL6, indicating a potential role for LMO2 in the prognostic stratification of DLBCL patients. It is rarely expressed in mature T, natural killer (NK) and plasma cell neoplasms and is absent from non-hematolymphoid tissues, except for endothelial cells.
