What does CD5-positive mean?
Abstract. CD5 positivity in B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) is usually considered characteristic of either chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
What is CD5 B-cell?
CD5, a 67-kDa surface glycoprotein of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich family, appears on T lymphocytes early in their development and is abundantly expressed on all mature T cells. The expression of the molecule on B lymphocytes and its role in defining separate lineages of these cells is controversial (1, 2).
Do B cells express CD5?
B cells of most of the chronic lymphoid leukemias express CD5 molecules and, surprisingly, these cells may be expanded in non-organ-specific autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or primary Sjögren’s syndrome.
What is CD5 a marker for?
CD5 is a good immunohistochemical marker for T-cells, although not as sensitive as CD3. About 76% of T-cell neoplasms are reported to express CD5, and it is also found in chronic lymphocytic leukemia and mantle cell lymphoma (both being B cell malignancies), that do not express CD3.
What kind of lymphoma has ab-cd5 positivity?
AB – CD5 positivity in B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) is usually considered characteristic of either chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
How to diagnose CD5 + B cell lymphoproliferative disorders?
Applying strict flow cytometry criteria, using genetic studies, and deferring to a lymph node/tissue diagnosis in non-classical cases are critical for accurate diagnosis and classification of CD5+ B-cell LPD. Dive into the research topics of ‘CD5+ B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders: Beyond chronic lymphocytic leukemia and mantle cell lymphoma’.
Are there any CD5 positive B cells in rabbits?
Interestingly, all B cells in mature rabbits are CD5 positive. CD5 has been found on many murine B cell lymphomas, some human B cell lymphomas and on the majority of human chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells.
Where are CD5 + B cells found in the body?
CD5 + B cells, now termed B1 cells, represent a significant proportion of murine thymic and peritoneal B cells. They are the first B cells to colonize lymphoid tissues during early development in humans and are present at very high frequency in the blood of newborns, diminishing through childhood, adulthood and up to old age.
