Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase
  
  • All IHC stains will include a positive control tissue
  
  • Anti-TRAcP will react with ~93% of Hairy Cell Leukemias with the percentage of TRAP-positive cells ranging from 5% to 10% (minority of cases) to >90%. Reactivity has been shown in marginal zone lymphoma of the spleen (2 of 3 cases). Other lymphoid neoplasms are negative for anti-TRAcP reactivity (see Table 3). Anti-TRAcP reactivity is not diagnostic for Hairy Cell Leukemia and should be used in conjunction with other antibodies in a panel: DBA.44, CD20, MB2.
  • Reactivity may be seen in Kupffer cells of the liver, in pulmonary alveolar macrophages, macrophages and epithelioid cells in or around granulomas and macrophages surrounding neoplasms
  • Weak TRAP positivity can be seen in occasional non-neoplastic small lymphocytes and in a subset of granulocytes or monocytes in normal bone marrow. Bone marrow osteoclasts, and Langerhans' cells in lymph nodes involved by dermatopathic lymphadenopathy may be reactive. Mast cells in some cases of systemic mastocytosis and macrophages of Gaucher's disease have shown positivity to Anti-TRAcP
  • In cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, a small number of granulocytes or monocytes have shown weak positivity. These, however, were morphologically distinct and would not be confused with hairy cells on the basis of their unique cytologic characteristics
