All IHC stains will include a positive control tissue

  
  • CD20 is a very useful antibody which can identify most B cell lymphomas (approximately 95%)
  • CD20 also identifies Reed-Sternberg variants of nodular lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin’s disease (see section on immunohistochemistry panels)
  • Rare examples of CD20 positive T cell NHL have been reported3
