General description

MUM1 (multiple myeloma oncogene-1)/IRF4 (interferon regulatory factor 4) is a 50 kDa protein encoded by MUM1 gene, and a member of the interferon regulatory factor family of transcription factors. MUM1/IRF4 is expressed in the nuclei of plasma cells and a small percentage of germinal center (GC) B-cells located in the “light zone”. This antibody stains MUM1 protein, which is expressed in a subset of B-cells in the light zone of the germinal center, plasma cells, activated T-cells, and a wide spectrum of related hematolymphoid neoplasms derived from these cells. Therefore, this antibody is useful for the subclassiffication of lymphoid malignancies and an excellent marker for Reed-Sternberg cells of classic Hodgkin disease in combination with anti-CD30.
