Immunoglobulin light chain transcript detection by ultrasensitive RNA in situ hybridization for B-cell lymphoma diagnosis.

Evaluation of B-cell clonality can be challenging in the interpretation of lymphoid infiltrates on tissue sections. Clonality testing based on IG gene rearrangements analysis by PCR (IG-PCR) is the gold standard. Alternatively, B-cell clonality can be assessed by the recognition of immunoglobulin light chain (IgLC) restriction, by immunohistochemistry (IHC), chromogenic in situ hybridization (ISH) or flow cytometry (FC).
