*

Twenty-two patients with mantle cell lymphoma, 15 with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 19 with follicular lymphoma, 11 with Burkitt lymphoma, and 20 with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Only patients with PDGFRA and TRKA or TRKB (or both) expression were analyzed. Of the 25 PDGFRA-positive patients, 11 (8 with nodular sclerosis and 3 with mixed cellularity subtype) also showed positivity in the stainings with the pan-phosphotyrosine antibody, and of these 11 patients, 5 showed negativity and 6 showed positivity with the phosphotyrosine-720-PDGFRA-specific antibody. Of the 21 TRKA- and/or TRKB-positive patients, 10 (9 with nodular sclerosis and 1 with mixed cellularity subtype) also showed positivity in stainings with the panphosphotyrosine antibody. Of these 10 patients, 5 showed positivity and 5 showed negativity with the phosphotyrosine-680/681-TRKA/B-specific antibody
