Stains / Test Description
This antibody can be used to aid in the identification of cells of normal and abnormal B cell lineage. This antibody is intended for laboratory use to qualitatively stain B cells and plasma cells expressing lambda light chain immunoglobulins in sections of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue. It specifically binds to antigens located in the cell membrane and cytoplasmic regions of normal B cells and plasma cells.
