Test Details
The immunohistochemistry LMW-CK test is a diagnostic tool used in pathology to detect the presence of low molecular weight cytokeratins (LMW-CKs) in tissue samples. Cytokeratins are proteins that are primarily found in epithelial cells and are used as markers to identify different types of epithelial tumors.
The LMW-CK test involves the use of specific antibodies that bind to LMW-CK proteins in tissue sections. These antibodies are labeled with a chromogen or a fluorescent dye, which allows for visualization of the antibody-antigen complex under a microscope. The presence of LMW-CKs in the tissue sample is indicated by the presence of a brown color or fluorescence signal.
This test is commonly used in the diagnosis and classification of various types of carcinomas, such as breast, lung, and prostate cancer. It helps pathologists differentiate between different types of tumors and can provide important information for treatment planning.
Overall, the immunohistochemistry LMW-CK test is a valuable tool in pathology for identifying the presence of LMW-CK proteins in tissue samples, aiding in the diagnosis and classification of epithelial tumors.
