CD79

Hello Everyone,

Presently, in our screening panel for B cell malignancies, we are using
CD19,  CD20, and CD38 mABs to recognize the B cell at any stage of its
development.

Recently, most of the literature that addresses B cells includes CD79
in its phenotype. Is there an advantage in using anti-CD79 over one of
the previously mentioned antibodies or perhaps in conjunction with the
others? Does this antibody provide any novel information not provided by
the others? Also, is it expressed on the surface or cytoplasmically in
early B cell development?

Respectfully submitted,

Sabina Sylvest
