IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY Ber-Ep4 EPCAM Test
Cost: AED 500.0
Test Details
The IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY Ber-Ep4 (EPCAM) test is a diagnostic tool used in pathology to detect the presence of the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EPCAM) in tissue samples. EPCAM is a protein that is commonly expressed in epithelial cells, which are found in the lining of various organs and tissues in the body. The Ber-Ep4 antibody is used in this test to specifically bind to the EPCAM protein. By applying this antibody to tissue samples, pathologists can determine whether the EPCAM protein is present in the cells and visualize its distribution within the tissue.
The IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY Ber-Ep4 (EPCAM) test is commonly used in the diagnosis and classification of various types of cancers, including colorectal, breast, and ovarian cancers. It can help pathologists differentiate between different types of tumors, determine the origin of metastatic tumors, and assess the aggressiveness of the cancer.
The test is performed on tissue samples obtained through biopsy or surgical resection. The tissue samples are typically fixed, embedded in paraffin, and then sliced into thin sections. These sections are then mounted onto glass slides and subjected to a series of staining steps, including the application of the Ber-Ep4 antibody. The stained slides are then examined under a microscope by a pathologist to assess the presence and distribution of the EPCAM protein.
