CD10
CD10 is re-expressed on proliferating B cells and mature neutrophils. Various non-lymphoid cells, including bile canaliculi and renal glomerular and tubular epithelial cells are also CD10-positive. The antibody is useful for the identification of Burkitt's lymphoma, follicular lymphoma except grade III, precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Futhermore, CD10 may be a useful marker in the differential diagnosis of the mature T-cell neoplasia subtype, angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma from other peripheral T-cell lymphomas.

Specimen Requirements
A formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block is preferred specimen type or one (1) unbaked, unstained slide cut at 4-5 microns for H&E staining (required) and two to three (2-3) positively charged unstained slides cut at 3-4 microns for each test/antibody ordered.
Storage and Transport
Use cold pack during transport of paraffin blocks and unstained slides. Cold pack should not be placed in direct contact with the specimen during shipping.
Specimen Rejection Criteria
