  • All IHC stains will include a positive control tissue
  
  • Annexin A1 is used to differentiate hairy cell leukemia from other B-cell lymphomas including hairy cell leukemia variant. In the differential diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia and other B-cell neoplasms, Annexin A1 has a sensitivity of 96% and specificity of 100%. Consider using Annexin A1 as part of a panel of testing (BRAF, TRAP).
  • Annexin A1 is positive in normal T-cells and myeloid cells. Positivity has also been reported in T-cell leukemias/lymphomas, AML, CMML, CML, P. vera, ET, primary myelofibrosis, mast cell disease, carcinomas, and some sarcomas.
