The Immunohistochemistry Cathepsin D Test is a specialized diagnostic procedure utilized to detect and quantify the presence of Cathepsin D, a lysosomal enzyme that plays a critical role in protein degradation, in tissue samples. This test is particularly significant in the field of oncology, as elevated levels of Cathepsin D have been associated with various types of cancers, including breast cancer. It aids in understanding the aggressiveness of the tumor and can influence treatment planning.

Performed at DNA Labs UAE, a leading facility known for its advanced diagnostic technologies and expert staff, this test involves the application of specific antibodies against Cathepsin D on tissue sections. These antibodies are visualized using chromogenic or fluorescent markers, allowing pathologists to assess the enzyme’s presence within the cells under a microscope.

The cost of the Immunohistochemistry Cathepsin D Test at DNA Labs UAE is 410 AED. This price reflects the comprehensive approach taken by the lab, including the preparation of the tissue samples, the use of high-quality antibodies, and the detailed analysis provided by their experienced pathologists. Patients and healthcare providers considering this test can expect a reliable service that contributes valuable insights into the diagnosis and management of cancerous conditions.

Test Details

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique used to visualize specific proteins or antigens in tissue samples. Cathepsin D is a lysosomal protease that plays a role in protein degradation and is often used as a marker for lysosomal activity.

To perform an immunohistochemistry Cathepsin D test, the following steps are typically followed:

  1. Tissue preparation: Tissue samples, usually obtained from biopsies or surgical resections, are fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin wax. The tissue is then cut into thin sections (usually around 4-6 micrometers thick) using a microtome.
  2. Deparaffinization and rehydration: The paraffin wax is removed from the tissue sections by incubating them in xylene or other clearing agents. The sections are then rehydrated by passing them through a series of graded alcohols.
  3. Antigen retrieval: Formalin fixation can cause cross-linking of proteins, making them inaccessible to antibodies. Antigen retrieval methods, such as heat-induced epitope retrieval or enzymatic digestion, are used to unmask the antigenic sites and improve antibody binding.
  4. Blocking: To prevent non-specific binding of antibodies, the tissue sections are incubated in a blocking solution containing proteins (e.g., bovine serum albumin or non-fat milk) or other blocking agents.
  5. Primary antibody incubation: The tissue sections are incubated with a primary antibody specific to Cathepsin D. The primary antibody binds to the target protein in the tissue sections.
  6. Secondary antibody incubation: After washing off unbound primary antibody, the tissue sections are incubated with a secondary antibody conjugated to a detectable label (e.g., enzyme, fluorophore, or chromogen). The secondary antibody binds to the primary antibody, amplifying the signal.
  7. Visualization: The detectable label attached to the secondary antibody generates a visible signal, allowing the visualization of Cathepsin D in the tissue sections. The signal can be visualized using various techniques, such as enzyme-substrate reactions (e.g., DAB) or fluorescent microscopy.
  8. Counterstaining and mounting: To enhance tissue structure visualization, counterstaining with dyes like hematoxylin may be performed. Finally, the tissue sections are mounted on glass slides with a mounting medium.
  9. Interpretation: The stained tissue sections are examined under a microscope by a pathologist or researcher. The presence and distribution of Cathepsin D can be assessed, and the staining intensity or pattern can provide insights into its role in the tissue. It’s important to note that specific protocols and reagents may vary depending on the laboratory and the specific Cathepsin D antibody used. Additionally, appropriate positive and negative controls should be included in the test to ensure accurate interpretation of the results.
