Orderable Test Description
The MUM1 antibody is specific for the MUM1/IRF4 protein that is overexpressed in late plasma-cell-directed stages of B-cell differentiation. MUM1 is a powerful tool for understanding the histogenesis of B-cell lymphomas. MUM1 protein is an excellent marker for Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma in combination with CD30. Furthermore, MUM1 seems to be a marker of prognostic value since it has been found that the expression of MUM1 is associated with the poor prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
