Test Details
The immunohistochemistry CD1a test is a laboratory technique used to detect the presence of CD1a protein in tissue samples. CD1a is a marker for Langerhans cells, a type of immune cell found in the skin and other tissues.
This test is commonly used in the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis, a rare disorder characterized by the abnormal proliferation of Langerhans cells.
During the test, a tissue sample is taken and processed into thin sections. These sections are then treated with specific antibodies that bind to the CD1a protein if present. The antibodies are usually tagged with a colored or fluorescent marker for visualization.
If CD1a is present in the tissue, it will bind to the antibodies and produce a visible signal, indicating a positive result.
The immunohistochemistry CD1a test is typically performed by pathologists or histotechnologists in a laboratory setting. It is an important tool in diagnosing Langerhans cell histiocytosis and can also be used to identify Langerhans cells in other diseases or conditions.
The results of the test are interpreted by a trained medical professional and are often used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests and clinical information to make a definitive diagnosis.
