Test Details
Immunohistochemistry is a technique used to detect specific proteins in tissue samples. The cytokeratin (pancytokeratin) test is a type of immunohistochemistry test that is used to detect the presence of cytokeratin proteins in tissue samples. Cytokeratins are a group of proteins that are found in epithelial cells, which are the cells that line the surfaces and cavities of the body. They play a role in maintaining the structural integrity of these cells.
The cytokeratin test is commonly used in the diagnosis of various types of cancers, as many cancers originate from epithelial cells. By detecting the presence of cytokeratin proteins in a tissue sample, pathologists can determine if the cells in that sample are of epithelial origin, helping to confirm a diagnosis of cancer.
During the cytokeratin test, the tissue sample is first fixed and embedded in a paraffin block. Thin sections of the tissue are then cut and mounted onto glass slides. These slides are then treated with antibodies that specifically bind to cytokeratin proteins. The antibodies are usually labeled with a colored or fluorescent tag, which allows for their detection under a microscope.
If the tissue sample contains cells that express cytokeratin proteins, these cells will be stained by the antibodies and can be visualized under a microscope. The presence and pattern of cytokeratin staining can provide valuable information about the type and origin of the cancer.
Overall, the cytokeratin (pancytokeratin) test is an important tool in the field of pathology and is used to aid in the diagnosis and classification of various types of cancers.
