Stains / Test Description
Annexin A1 (ANXA1), a gene related to phagocytosis, is one of the most upregulated genes in hairy cell leukemia. Annexin A1 is strongly expressed on the cell membrane of 97% of hairy cell leukemia cases. Although Annexin A1 is negative in normal B-cells or B-cell tumors other than "classic" hairy cell leukemia, it stains myeloid cells, macrophages, and subsets of benign T-cells.
