Abstract
Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia is a lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, the morphological substrates of which are b‑lymphocytes, proplasmocytes, and plasma cells. The world Health Organization recommends multicolor flow cytometry with analysis of markers such as IgM, Cd19, Cd20, Cd22, Cd25, Cd10, Cd23, Cd103, Cd138, for diagnosing this disease. Based on international and our own experience, we recommend that tumor b‑lymphocytes and plasma cells be analyzed separately for the diagnosis of waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, since the immunophenotypic profile of these populations differs. In diagnostics, this approach provides a more complete understanding of various subpopulations contribution, and when monitoring minimal residual disease, it helps to detect the tumor clone, which after therapy is predominantly represented by plasma cells. we recommend using antibodies to surface and intracellular markers such as Cd138, Cd38, Cd19, Cd45, Cd20, Cd22, Cd27 cytκ, cytλ and cytIgM for immunophenotypic testing of waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.
