IL-3 alpha-chain receptor
  
  • All IHC stains will include a positive control tissue
  
  • CD123 identifies blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell (BPDC) neoplasms, which tend to involve multiple sites, with predilection for skin (almost 100% of cases), followed by bone marrow (60-90%) and other sites. 10-20% of cases are associated with or develop into AML
  • CD 123 is most useful in an antibody panel designed to detect BPDC neoplasms, which are CD4+, CD56+, CD68+ (50% have cytoplasmic dot staining), and TdT (33% positive). Tumors that share some but not all immunophenotypic features of BPDC are better classified as "acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage"
