CD MPO
Also known as Cd Mpo Immunohistochemistry BloodWhat is this test?
The enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) is the most specific marker of myeloid lineage. The recognition of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) with minimally differentiation (AML-M0) is established with methods that include myeloid markers CD13/CD33 and detection of MPO in blast cells by immunological techniques or electron microscopy cytochemistry (EM). We have analysed the presence of MPO in leukaemic blast cells by conventional cytochemistry and immunological methods using a monoclonal antibody anti-MPO (CLB-MPO1). The aim of the study was to investigate the sensitivity of this McAb to identify AML-M0, as CD13/CD33 can be expressed in some cases of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and EM cytochemistry is not always available in many laboratories. Anti-MPO was positive in all cases of AML (M1-M5) which were positive by Sudan Black B reaction in similar or higher percentage ratio for each case. Anti-MPO is a very sensitive and reliable tool in AML diagnosis and has an important role in distinguishing minimally differentiated AML and biphenotypic acute leukaemia from AUL and ALL.
