It also reacts with most granular lymphocytic leukemias, hepatosplenic T cell lymphomas, intestinal T cell lymphomas, NK-like T cell lymphomas, NK-cell lymphomas, nasal T/NK-cell lymphomas, subcutaneous T cell lymphomas, and pulmonary angiocentric lymphomas of T or NK phenotype. All B cell lymphomas, Hodgkin, and lymphoblastic leukemias are negative for TIA1.
