Test Details
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique used in pathology to detect specific proteins in tissue samples. The calretinin test is an IHC test used to detect the presence of calretinin protein in tissue samples.
Calretinin is a calcium-binding protein that is primarily found in the central and peripheral nervous systems. It is also expressed in certain other tissues, such as the mesothelial cells lining the pleura, pericardium, and peritoneum.
The calretinin test is commonly used in the diagnosis of mesothelioma, a type of cancer that typically affects the lining of the lungs, but can also affect other organs. Mesothelioma is often associated with asbestos exposure, and calretinin is a useful marker in distinguishing mesothelioma from other types of cancer.
During the calretinin test, a tissue sample is collected and processed into thin sections, which are then placed on slides. The slides are treated with antibodies that specifically bind to calretinin protein. If calretinin is present in the tissue sample, the antibodies will bind to it, and this binding can be visualized using various detection methods, such as the addition of a colored or fluorescent dye.
The results of the calretinin test can help pathologists in making a diagnosis, especially in cases where mesothelioma is suspected. However, it is important to note that the calretinin test is not specific to mesothelioma and can also be positive in other types of cancer or non-cancerous conditions. Therefore, it is often used in conjunction with other tests and clinical information to make an accurate diagnosis.
