Notes

Universal B-cell receptor component — expressed on virtually all mature B-cell neoplasms (DLBCL, FL, MCL, MZL, CLL, Burkitt, plasma cell neoplasms variably). Primarily relevant as therapeutic target for polatuzumab vedotin (anti-CD79b ADC; replaces vincristine in Pola-R-CHP for DLBCL). Routine confirmation not required for polatuzumab eligibility — assumed positive on B-cell histology — but documented when negative or weak as caveat for ADC efficacy.
