CD15


Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia.

CD15

a phosphatidylinositol-anchored transmembrane protein found on neutrophils; it may be involved in phagocytosis; expressed in patients with Hodgkin disease, some B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemias, acute lymphoblastic leukemias, and most acute nonlymphocytic leukemias.

CD15

This is a retired HUGO symbol for what molecular biologists now term FUT4 (see there). In practice, CD15 is widely used by haematologists, immunologists, laboratorians, pathologists and many others.

(A) Genome browser view displays tracks from top: Refseq gene AHRR; CpG Islands; C14+ Monocyte DMRs (black bar); differentially methylated CpGs ([DELTA] Methylation %) in CD14+ monocytes (CD14+ Mono) and CD15 + granulocytes (CD15 + Gran), and histone modification data tracks from the Epigenome Roadmap Project(a) for each cell type: H3K4me3, histone H3 Lysine 4 trimethyl (active mark); H3K27ac, histone H3 Lysine 27acetyl (active enhancer); H3K4me1, histone H3 Lysine 4 monomethyl (enhancer); H3K27me3, histone H3 Lysine 27trimethyl (repressive mark).
(a) mRNA expression of eight stem cell markers (Nestin, CXCR4, Oct3/4, CD15, CD133, Bmi-1, Sox2, and CD44) and four stem cell-related molecules (HIF-1[alpha], HIF-2[alpha], VEGF, and TGF-[beta]) in the core and the periphery was determined with qRT-PCR.
(3-5,7) In the present case the HRS cells were CD30+, CD20+, CD79a+ but CD15 was negative as may occur in these lymphomas.
Interestingly, besides an increase in neutrophil number, as seen in experimental data from hypercortisolemic conditions [27, 28], the neutrophils of all CS patients showed a tendency to express activation markers like FC receptor CD16 and tetrasaccharide adhesion marker CD15, an association that persists in multiregression analysis.
Bone marrow biopsy and aspirate showed 73% myeloblasts and immature promonocytes expressing CD13, CD15, CD33, CD45, CD64, CD123, and HLA-DR by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and flow cytometry (FC).
Reed- Sternberg-like and histiocyte-like cells displayed CD68 (Figure 1D) and Mac387 expression; however, no reaction was determined with CD15 (LeuM1) and CD30 (Ki-1).
Pericardial biopsy revealed multiple nodules with interstitial hyalineosis containing a polymorphic infiltrate of small lymphocytes, rare eosinophils and Reed-Sternberg cells with CD30 and CD15 positivity (Figure 2).
All cases of lymphoma were CD20 positive, CD5, CD15, and CD30 negative and the patients were diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [Table 3].
The panel of lymphoid antibodies included: TdT, CD34, CD45, CD19,CD20, CD79, MUM-1 CDI0 ,CD21, CD23, CD3 ,CD4, CD5, CD8, CD15, CD30, CD43, CD56,CD68, MPO, Ki-67, Bcl-2, Bcl-6, Cyclin D1, Kappa, Lamda, ALK-1, ZAP 17 were used.
