Anti-FDC is useful in the identification of follicular dendriditic cell matrix found in normal lymph nodes and tonsilar tissue. This antibody has been found to label cells in approximately 60% of anaplastic large cell lymphomas, and approximately 45% of T-celllymphomas. This antibody also labels follicular dendritic cell tumor/sarcomas. Several normal non-lymphoid tissues are labeled with anti-FDC; pancreatic islet cells, gastric chief cells, myelin sheaths, salivary gland, Leydig cells of the testis, and endothelial cells.
