CD markers are expressed on specific hemotologic cells. Individual and a series of ihc markers can be run on unknown cells and presence or absence of the antigen can help to characterize the cell of interest. CD23 strongly stains the cytoplasm and membranes of follicular dendritic cells and the membranes of a subset of follicular mantle zone B-lymphocytes. Typically, B-cell small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemias are CD5 positive and CD23 positive, while mantle cell lymphoma is CD5 positive and CD23 negative. Antibodies to CD23 are diagnostically useful in the classification of low-grade B-cell lymphomas.
