The Utility of BRAF V600E Mutation-Specific Antibody VE1 for the Diagnosis of Hairy Cell Leukemia

Objectives: BRAF V600E mutation is characteristic of hairy cell leukemia (HCL). A V600E mutation-specific antibody, VE1, has been recently developed. We studied the diagnostic utility of this antibody in HCL and compared it with other B-cell neoplasms. Methods: VE1 activity was assessed using
