Identifies a cytoplasmic protein with a coarse granular pattern found in cytotoxic T cells and NK cells, as well as neoplasms derived from these lineages, including most anaplastic large cell lymphomas. It also labels granular lymphocytic leukemias, hepatosplenic T-cell lymphomas, intestinal T-cell lymphomas, NK-like T-cell lymphomas, NK-cell lymphomas, nasal T/NK-cell lymphomas, subcutaneous T-cell lymphomas, and pulmonary angiocentric lymphomas of T or NK phenotype. B-cell lymphomas, Hodgkin lymphoma, and lymphoblastic leukemias are negative.
Tissue Block: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor block preferred.
Unstained Slides: Recommended 2 charged slides per stain requested (minimum of 1 slide per stain), baked or unbaked.
Fixation: Tissue must be fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for 6–72 hours.
Use cold pack for transport. Make sure cold pack is not in direct contact with specimen.
