Description- B-lymphocyte chemoattractant / B-cell attracting chemokine-1 (BLC/BCA-1); CXC chemokine family controlling the organization of B cells within follicles of lymphoid tissues such as spleen, lymph nodes, and Peyeru2019s patches; In T-lymphocytes, CXCL13 expression is thought to reflect a germinal center origin of the Tcell.; CXCL is a useful marker in the diagnosis of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma; when used in a panel it can differentiate it from other proliferative T-cell lymphoma

Methodology: Immunohistochemistry

TAT: 3-5 days
