Test Overview & Methodology
The Immunohistochemistry CD43 test is a highly specific tissue-based assay that detects the CD43 (Leu-22) antigen on T-lymphocytes and myeloid cells. It is primarily ordered by oncologists and surgical pathologists to classify lymphomas and leukemias. In the UAE, our DHA-compliant protocol ensures rapid, accurate immunostaining with a turnaround of 5โ7 days at a fixed price of 550 AED, integrated with the latest oncology pathways.
| Feature | Our CD43 IHC Test | Alternative (Flow Cytometry) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Morphology + antigen co-localization on tissue architecture | Cell suspension analysis, loss of tissue context |
| Method | ISO 9001:2015 IHC on FFPE blocks, digital pathology | Fluorescence-activated cell sorting |
| Speed | 5โ7 days (standard, DHA-aligned) | 2โ3 days (but less definitive for architectural assessment) |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"As a Specialist Diagnostic Radiology with DHA license 61713011, I emphasize that the CD43 immunostain must be interpreted alongside a full hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) review. This marker is pivotal in separating T-cell lymphomas from reactive processes, but no single stain can replace comprehensive clinical correlation. Please discuss your histological report with your treating oncologist before any therapeutic decisions."

โ ๏ธ Important Clinical Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
Exclusion Criteria: Patients with uncorrected bleeding diathesis, active infection at the biopsy site, or inability to provide informed consent. ER Red Flags: If you develop severe pain, excessive bleeding, fever above 38ยฐC, or signs of infection after a biopsy, seek immediate medical attention.
โ ๏ธ Specimen Collection Advisory
Hospital Extraction Only โ Sample collection is conducted strictly within an accredited hospital facility; mobile home phlebotomy is disabled for safety. Archival tissue specimens (FFPE blocks or slides) are retrieved via Secure Medical Courier Solid Tissue Specimen Retrieval.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CD43 immunohistochemistry test and why is it needed?
CD43 IHC testing identifies CD43 protein on T-cells and myeloid cells to classify lymphomas and leukemias precisely. It is used when hematopathologists need to distinguish between T-cell and B-cell lineage malignancies, especially in suspected T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or peripheral T-cell lymphoma. A positive CD43 stain combined with other markers guides targeted therapy.
2. How should I prepare for the CD43 immunohistochemistry?
No special preparation is required, but a tissue biopsy must be collected by your doctor under sterile conditions. Provide a copy of your histopathology report, biopsy site, and full clinical history to the laboratory; this ensures accurate immunohistochemistry interpretation and adherence to UAE PDPL data privacy.
3. Is the CD43 test necessary for every cancer patient?
CD43 is not a routine screening test. It is specifically ordered when a hematologic malignancy is suspected, particularly T-cell lymphomas. The decision is made by your oncologist based on clinical presentation and preliminary findings.
4. How is the sample collected and transported?
The test uses archival FFPE tissue blocks or histological slides obtained from a previous biopsy. A secure medical courier arranges temperature-controlled pickโup from the hospital pathology department. No blood draw or home phlebotomy is required.
