Immunolabeling of a microgranular APL case (A) and of an acute nonlymphoid leukemia M4 subtype (B) with the PG-M3 MoAb. (A) Indirect immunofluorescence with rhodamine-labeled antibody and nuclear DAPI counterstain. Double arrows show a microspeckled distribution of the PML/RAR protein within the nuclei of APL cells. This pattern contrasts with the nuclear speckled positivity PML wild type of normal residual hematopoietic elements (single arrow). (B) Indirect immunofluorescence with fluoresceine-labeled antibody and nuclear DAPI counterstain. Blast cells show the nuclear speckled positivity.
