Test Details
The immunohistochemistry germ cell tumor panel test is a diagnostic tool used to identify and classify germ cell tumors. Germ cell tumors are a type of tumor that arises from the cells that give rise to eggs or sperm.
This panel test involves staining tumor tissue samples with specific antibodies to detect the presence of certain proteins that are characteristic of germ cell tumors. The panel typically includes antibodies against markers such as placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and glypican-3 (GPC3).
PLAP is an enzyme that is expressed in germ cell tumors and is a common marker used to identify these tumors. AFP is a protein that is normally produced by the liver during fetal development but can also be elevated in germ cell tumors. GPC3 is a cell surface protein that is overexpressed in some germ cell tumors.
By examining the staining pattern of these markers, pathologists can determine the presence and type of germ cell tumor. For example, a positive staining for PLAP and/or AFP suggests a yolk sac tumor, while positive staining for GPC3 suggests a choriocarcinoma.
The immunohistochemistry germ cell tumor panel test is an important tool in the diagnosis and classification of germ cell tumors, helping guide treatment decisions and predict patient outcomes.
