A minimum of
Immunehistochemistry for
lymphoma classification ?
• CD20 / CD5
– Distribution and pattern of B and T cell areas
– Basic structure of the lymph node
• Follicle
• Parafollicular pulp
– Coexpression of CD5 in CLL and Mantle cell lymphoma
• IgD
– Mantle zone
– Expression in Mantle cell lymphoma
• CD23
– Follicular dendritic cells
– Marginal zone (inconsistent)
– Coexpression of CD23 in CLL
• Ki-67
– „where the music plays“
– Abnormal activities
• High proliferation in extrafollicular areas
• Low proliferation within the follicles
• BCL-2
– Expression in all B cells outside of germinal centers
– Follicular expression in follikular lymphoma
– Does not distinguisish different types of indolent B cell
lymphoma
• CD30
– Hodgkin lymphoma
– Anaplastic large cell lymphoma
– Weak expression also in plasma cells (intern
control)
• CD15
– Expression in granulocytes
– Hodgkin lymphoma

Immunehistochemistry
– Recurrences after Rituximab treatment
– Later differentiation antigen of B cells
• CD3
– Comparison with CD5 e.g coexpression im B cells
• IgD
– L.n. architecture, mantle zone, NLPHL
• k/l
– Clonality , rarely characterizes lymphoma type
• Cyclin D1
– Note intern control= endothelia
• CD10/ BCL-6
– follicles
• BCL-2
– Expression in all indolent B cell lymphoma
– Over expression in follicles of FL
• LMP-1
– EBV in mononucleosis, Hodgkin lymphoma, PTLD etc.
• CD138
– Plasma cells
Molecular studies
Important help in the diagnosis of malignant lymphoma
Morphological approach essential : no tumor diagnosis on
molecular findings alone !!!!
Diagnostic approach is correlated to treatment options ( e.g.
CD20 and RituxiMab treatment)
Molecular studies
B-cell clonality IgH PCR
Microdissection and IgH PCR
Quantitative RT-PCR for kappa and lambda
light chains
Southern blot
Chromosomal
Translocations Southern blot, PCR, RT-PCR, FISH

Fluorescence in situ hybridization
• histological context
• easy for evaluation • needs less patients ’ material
• numerical aberrations, deletions, • control on the presence of the tumor

• Interphase FISH analysis is preferable method for detection
of the chromosomal translocations as many breakpoints are
dispersed over the large genomic area
