MUM1 by IHC
  
12376 - Technical only, 12379 - Technical & interpretation
  
LAB12376
LAB12379
  
Multiple myeloma oncogene-1
  
  • All IHC stains will include a positive control tissue
  
  • MUM1 is useful in the subclassification of lymphoid malignancies
  • MUM1 expression has been identified in multiple myelomas, lymphoplasmacytic lymphomas, diffuse large B-cell lymphomas, and activated T cells<
  • MUM1 can also be used to identify Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin's lymphoma
  • MUM1 is also present in benign and neoplastic melanocytic proliferations (92% of melanomas are MUM1 positive)
  • The presence of MUM1 staining in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas has been associated with a worse prognosis

Clinical and Interpretive info

  

If requested, an interpretive report will be provided

  

Specifications

  • Recognizes the MUM1/IRF4 protein, which is expressed in late plasma-cell-directed stages of B-cell differentiation
  • MUM1 is useful in identifying transition from BCL6 positivity to CD138 expression
  • It is also expressed in activated T cells and in related hematologic neoplasms

Staining pattern

  • Nuclear staining, often with weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining
