IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY 34-BETA E12 HMW-CK Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY 34-BETA E12 HMW-CK Test for the detection of high molecular weight cytokeratins (HMW-CK) in tissue samples. This test is commonly used in pathology to identify and differentiate various types of epithelial cells in tissue samples.
Test Details
The 34-beta E12 / HMW-CK test is an immunohistochemistry (IHC) test that specifically targets HMW-CK. Cytokeratins are proteins found in epithelial cells, which line the surfaces of organs and body cavities. HMW-CK refers to a group of cytokeratins with a higher molecular weight.
This test is particularly useful in the diagnosis and classification of different types of carcinomas, including prostate carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. It helps pathologists identify and characterize different types of epithelial cells in tissue samples.
Test Procedure
During the test, a tissue sample is first fixed and embedded in paraffin. Thin sections of the tissue are then mounted onto glass slides. The slides are treated with the 34-beta E12 antibody, which binds specifically to HMW-CK if present in the tissue. A chromogen is used to visualize the binding, producing a color reaction where the antibody has bound. The stained slides are then examined under a microscope by a pathologist to determine the presence and distribution of HMW-CK in the tissue.
Test Cost and Pre-Test Information
The cost of the IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY 34-BETA E12 HMW-CK Test is 510.0 AED. To perform the test, submit tumor tissue in 10% Formal-saline or Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue block. It is important to provide a copy of the Histopathology Report, site of biopsy, and clinical history for accurate diagnosis.
Report Delivery
Sample delivery is done daily by 6 pm. The report for a tissue block is delivered within 5 days, while tissue biopsy and tissue large complex reports are delivered within 5 and 7 days, respectively.
Consultation and Referral
The IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY 34-BETA E12 HMW-CK Test is performed by our experienced team of oncologists and pathologists. If you suspect a cancer diagnosis or require further consultation, please consult with an oncologist.
Conclusion
The IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY 34-BETA E12 HMW-CK Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a valuable tool in pathology for identifying and characterizing different types of epithelial cells in tissue samples. It aids in the diagnosis and classification of various diseases, particularly carcinomas. If you have any further questions or require more information, please contact us.
