Patients with polycythemia vera (PV), a neoplastic stem cell disorder that leads to excessive production of all myeloid cell lines, overexpress the cell surface antigen CD177, also designated NB1. The increased output, especially of red blood cells, increases whole blood viscosity and causes vascular occlusion and ischemia. Because of the marked upregulation of CD177 in PV patients, as compared to healthy individuals or those with other erythrocytosis-related conditions, analysis of this protein presents a useful tool for diagnosis and research into the mechanisms of PV.
