Mostly positive = definitely positive on lymphoma cells >50%

Partially positive = 10-50% positive staining

Overall positive = sum of mostly and partially positive results

Probably negative = <10% staining on presumptive lymphoma cells

Clearly negative = clearly negative

Overall negative = sum of probably negative and clearly negative results
