Catalog Number:

I am interested in the biology of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a high grade aggressive lymphoma. Over-expression of Myc, detected by IHC, has been associated with prognosis in DLBCL and may help identify patients with more aggressive disease who may benefit from more intensified therapies. I have used the c-Myc Y69 antibody to successfully measure expression of Myc in a cohort of >100 DLBCL formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue (FFPET) samples.
