HPCA-1, human precursor cell antigen-1; IL-2RA, interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain; IL-3RA, interleukin-3 receptor alpha chain; ISM, indolent systemic mastocytosis; SSM, smoldering SM; ASM, aggressive SM; MCL, mast cell leukemia; MML, myelomastocytic leukemia; NA, not available. +, expressed in MCs in almost all (>90% of) cases; +/−, expressed in a majority of MC in a considerable proportion of cases; −/+, expressed in a minority of MC in a smaller subset of cases; −, not expressed. In a few cases, one of the two markers, either CD2 or CD25, may be expressed in neoplastic MCs in MML.
