Test Overview & Methodology
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) any single marker testing uses highly specific monoclonal antibodies to detect target proteins — HER2/neu, C4d, EBER, or Ki‑67 — on formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) tissue. This DHA‑endorsed assay provides essential prognostic and therapeutic guidance in oncology, transplant pathology, and infectious disease workflows. The staining is performed on automated Leica BOND‑III platforms with validated clones and DAB chromogen detection, ensuring reproducible, high‑contrast results.
| Feature | Our IHC Single Marker (DHA Approved) | Closest Alternative (Multiplex IF/PCR Panel) |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | 99.9% sensitivity with automated staining, validated clones | High, but requires fresh tissue and complex quantification |
| Methodology | IHC on FFPE sections, DAB chromogen, CAP/CLSI compliant | Multicolor immunofluorescence or PCR; may need frozen sections |
| Turnaround Time | 3 business days | 5–7 business days |
| Price | 600 AED | Varies, often >1,000 AED |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“When interpreting IHC results, context is key. A single biomarker value — whether HER2, C4d, EBER, or Ki‑67 — must be evaluated alongside your clinical presentation, imaging findings, and overall histological pattern. Our automated platform ensures precision, but the final diagnosis always rests on a comprehensive medical assessment.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology (DHA ID: 61713011)
Medication Safety Advisory
Never stop or alter prescribed medications without explicit consultation with your attending physician. Some drugs may affect tissue antigenicity or require temporary adjustment before biopsy procedures. Always provide a complete medication list to your healthcare team prior to sample collection.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Patients with active bleeding disorders or on anticoagulant therapy that cannot be safely paused must consult us before any tissue sampling.
- Acute transplant rejection crisis or fulminant infection requires immediate hospitalisation; this test is not a substitute for emergency care.
- If you experience sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, or uncontrolled bleeding after a tissue biopsy, seek emergency medical attention without delay.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the purpose of an IHC single marker test?
This assay detects a single protein of interest—HER2, C4d, EBER, or Ki‑67—in FFPE tissue to guide diagnosis and therapy. For instance, HER2 status determines eligibility for targeted breast cancer therapy; C4d confirms antibody‑mediated rejection in transplant patients; EBER identifies EBV‑associated lymphoproliferative disorders; and Ki‑67 provides a proliferation index that influences tumour grading and prognosis.
2. How is the tissue sample obtained?
You do not need to undergo a separate collection appointment. The test is performed on an existing archival FFPE tissue block or biopsy slide that has already been taken during a prior surgical resection or biopsy by your treating physician. Our Secure Medical Courier service retrieves the specimen directly from the storing hospital or pathology lab. No fasting or medication changes are required.
3. What is the turnaround time and price?
The cost is 600 AED inclusive of all technical and interpretive steps. Results are delivered within 3 business days from receipt of the tissue block. Direct insurance billing is supported—verify your coverage instantly via WhatsApp at +971 54 548 8731. Our clinical guidance team will also provide a telephonic explanation of the report once available.
4. Is the test covered by insurance?
Most UAE insurance plans cover IHC testing when prescribed by a licensed physician. We offer direct billing; simply send a photo of your insurance card and prescription via WhatsApp to +971 54 548 8731 for a swift eligibility check. Out‑of‑pocket payment is also accepted at the same fixed price.
