IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY GLYCOPHORIN A (GPA) Test
Test Cost: AED 510.0
Introduction
The immunohistochemistry Glycophorin A (GPA) test is a diagnostic test used in pathology to detect the presence of Glycophorin A protein in tissue samples. This test is commonly used in the diagnosis and classification of various blood disorders, such as anemia and leukemia.

Test Details
The immunohistochemistry Glycophorin A (GPA) test is performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections. The tissue sections are deparaffinized, rehydrated, and then treated with antigen retrieval techniques to unmask the target antigen. The sections are then incubated with the primary antibody against Glycophorin A. After washing off any unbound antibodies, a secondary antibody is applied, which binds to the primary antibody and amplifies the signal. Finally, the sections are visualized using a microscope.
The results of the immunohistochemistry GPA test are interpreted by pathologists, who examine the tissue sections under a microscope and assess the intensity and distribution of the staining. The presence of Glycophorin A protein indicates the presence of red blood cells or their precursor cells in the tissue sample.
Overall, the immunohistochemistry GPA test is a valuable tool in the field of pathology, allowing for the identification and characterization of blood-related disorders based on the presence of Glycophorin A protein in tissue samples.

| Test Details | The immunohistochemistry Glycophorin A (GPA) test is a diagnostic test used in pathology to detect the presence of Glycophorin A protein in tissue samples. Glycophorin A is a glycoprotein that is primarily found on the surface of red blood cells. The GPA test involves the use of specific antibodies that bind to Glycophorin A protein. These antibodies are usually tagged with a fluorescent dye or an enzyme that produces a color reaction. When the antibodies bind to Glycophorin A in the tissue sample, they create a visible signal that can be detected under a microscope. The test is commonly used in the diagnosis and classification of various blood disorders, such as anemia and leukemia. It can help determine the origin of abnormal cells and identify specific types of blood cells. The immunohistochemistry GPA test is performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
