Diagnosis of T cell lymphoproliferative disorders requires one or multiple immunophenotypic aberrations, histological tissue structure or composition modifications, fi cations, and T cell clonality demonstration. Here, we present two T cell lymphoma cases, where TCR clonality was evaluated using the TRBC1 monoclonal antibody combined with a multi-parametric staining for an in-depth immunophenotype of physiological and pathological T cell populations. In the fi rst case, this monoclonal antibody allowed exclusion of reactive lymphoproliferations, while in the second case, it was conclusive for identification fi cation of Sezary syndrome cells. We added evidence on clinical utility of TRBC1 antibody (JOVI-1) to disclose monotypic T-cell populations, and TCR clonality evaluated by TRBC1 monoclonal antibody can be efficiently fi ciently combined with a multi-parametric staining for an in-depth immunophenotype, with high versability of this monoclonal antibody in multi-parametric fl ow cytometry panel.

Abstract
Diagnosis of T cell lymphoproliferative disorders requires one or multiple immunophenotypic aberrations, histological tissue structure or composition modifications, fi cations, and T cell clonality demonstration. Here, we present two T cell lymphoma cases, where TCR clonality was evaluated using the TRBC1 monoclonal antibody combined with a multi-parametric staining for an in-depth immunophenotype of physiological and pathological T cell populations. In the fi rst case, this monoclonal antibody allowed exclusion of reactive lymphoproliferations, while in the second case, it was conclusive for identification fi cation of Sezary syndrome cells. We added evidence on clinical utility of TRBC1 antibody (JOVI-1) to disclose monotypic T-cell populations, and TCR clonality evaluated by TRBC1 monoclonal antibody can be efficiently fi ciently combined with a multi-parametric staining for an in-depth immunophenotype, with high versability of this monoclonal antibody in multi-parametric fl ow cytometry panel.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
