Test Overview & Methodology
CD35 (Complement Receptor 1) immunohistochemistry uses a primary antibody to visualize follicular dendritic cells in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. This technique enables precise subclassification of lymphoproliferative disorders, including follicular lymphoma and Castleman disease, with superior sensitivity compared to conventional staining.
| Feature | Our CD35 IHC Test | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision / Methodology | IHC on FFPE tissue, validated per DHA standards | Conventional IHC with non‑standardised protocols |
| Diagnostic Sensitivity | 99.9% | Varies (typically 85–95%) |
| Turnaround Time | 5 days (standard biopsy) / 7 days (complex cases) | Often 10–14 days |
| Specimen Retrieval | Secure Medical Courier for archival tissue blocks | Patient self-transport or conventional courier |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“When evaluating lymph node or splenic lesions, CD35 immunohistochemistry provides definitive visualization of follicular dendritic cell networks. However, this result must be integrated with clinical history, imaging, and routine histopathology before final diagnosis. Do not delay specialist consultation while waiting for this report.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
⚠️ Important Advisory
- Medication Guidance: Do not discontinue any prescribed medications (e.g., anticoagulants, immunosuppressants) without consulting your treating physician, even when biopsy is scheduled.
- Exclusion Criteria: Inadequate tissue sample (necrotic, extensively haemorrhagic, or insufficient cellularity); known severe allergy to formalin; active infection at biopsy site.
- Emergency Red Flags: If you experience rapid swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of systemic infection after biopsy, seek emergency care immediately and inform the laboratory.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. Why is the CD35 immunohistochemistry needed for lymphoma diagnosis?
CD35 immunohistochemistry provides definitive visualization of follicular dendritic cell networks within lymphoid tissue, enabling precise subclassification of B‑cell lymphomas such as follicular lymphoma or Castleman disease with over 99% analytical accuracy.
2. How is the archival tissue sample collected for this test?
This test requires a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block or biopsy slide, which is obtained from the hospital where your biopsy was performed. Our secure medical courier retrieves the archival specimen under controlled conditions. Mobile phlebotomy is not applicable for tissue samples.
3. What is the reporting time and how will I receive the results?
Routine biopsy reports are finalized within 5 working days (complex cases up to 7 days). Results are delivered through a secure, PDPL‑compliant electronic portal, with optional telephonic interpretation by our DHA‑licensed specialist.
