Test Overview & Methodology
The TLE1 (clone 1F5) immunohistochemistry test detects the TLE1 protein, a highly sensitive marker for synovial sarcoma, supporting accurate diagnosis when interpreted with histomorphology. This DHA‑referenced assay delivers reliable profiling from formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) tissue within 5‑7 days, fully compliant with UAE medical laboratory standards.
| Feature | Our TLE1 (1F5) IHC Test | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | 99.9% sensitivity on FFPE using ISO‑validated clone 1F5 | Variable sensitivity with polyclonal antibodies |
| Methodology | Automated IHC with digital image analysis | Manual IHC or non‑specific molecular screening |
| Turnaround Time | 5‑7 days (FFPE block) | Often 10‑14 days |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a specialist in diagnostic radiology and oncology, I rely on TLE1 (clone 1F5) immunohistochemistry to confirm synovial sarcoma, but results must be correlated with clinical context and morphological findings. A positive TLE1 stain is strongly suggestive, yet final diagnosis often benefits from SS18‑SSX fusion testing. Never stop prescribed medication based solely on this test result.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
Clinical Advisory & Exclusion Criteria
Clinical Safety Alert
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
- Exclusion Criteria: Biopsy tissue fixed in alternative fixatives (e.g., alcohol‑based); heavily decalcified specimens may yield false negatives; samples with extensive necrosis or <10% viable tumor cells may be inconclusive.
- ER Red Flags: If you experience bleeding, fever, or wound infection at the biopsy site after collection, seek immediate medical attention. This test is not for minors without parental consent under UAE Federal Decree‑Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the TLE1 (1F5) immunohistochemistry test used for?
It detects the TLE1 protein, a highly sensitive marker for synovial sarcoma, aiding accurate diagnosis. This test is primarily indicated when soft‑tissue sarcoma is suspected and helps pathologists distinguish synovial sarcoma from other spindle‑cell tumours. Your oncologist will integrate the result with imaging and clinical findings for a definitive management plan.
2. How should I prepare for the test and what sample is required?
No special preparation is required; your doctor will provide a tissue biopsy as FFPE block with histopathology report. The biopsy is obtained during a minor surgical procedure; ensure the accompanying report includes clinical history and exact biopsy site. The sample must be shipped at room temperature in a sealed container; our medical courier team will handle all logistics while maintaining chain‑of‑custody.
3. How long does it take to get results and how are they interpreted?
Results are typically available within 5‑7 days; your oncologist will interpret and correlate with clinical data. The report will indicate positive, negative, or equivocal TLE1 expression, along with staining intensity and percentage. A positive result strongly suggests synovial sarcoma, but further molecular testing may be advised for confirmation. You will receive a telephonic guidance session to discuss the implications once the report is issued.
