CD34 is expressed on immature hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, capillary endothelial cells, embryonic fibroblasts and rare glial cells in nervous tissue.The antibody is a useful tool for the identification of vascular (angiosarcoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, epitheliod hemangiopericytoma, hemangioma) and lymphatic tumors, for the subclassification of leukemias, and for diagnosis of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) along with anti CD117 (c- kit) and S-100 antibodies.
