Cd 10 Calla Immunohistochemistry Biopsy Tissue

CD10 is a cell surface glycoprotein present on bone marrow B precursors (hematogones) and myeloid cells (including neutrophils), follicle center B cells, and a subset of follicular T helper cells. CD10 is also expressed in the brush border of the upper part of the intestinal tract, bile canaliculi, kidney (glomerular and proximal tubular cells), pulmonary alveolar cells, myoepithelial cells of breast, prostate glandular cells, placental trophoblastic cells, endometrial stromal cells, some endothelial cells, and a minority of (myo-)fibroblasts (stromal cells). CD10 is most useful in the diagnosis of B-precursor-acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Burkitt lymphoma, and lymphomas of follicle cell center origin (follicular lymphoma, subset of large B-cell lymphomas).
