IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY OCt-2 Test
Test Cost: AED 470.0
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details
IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY OCt-2 Test is a technique used in pathology and research laboratories to visualize specific proteins in tissue samples. It involves the use of antibodies that bind to target proteins, followed by a detection system that produces a visible signal.
The OCT-2 test refers to the use of an antibody called OCT-2 in immunohistochemistry. OCT-2 (octamer-binding transcription factor 2) is a protein that plays a role in the development and function of B cells in the immune system. It is commonly used as a marker to identify B-cell lymphomas and leukemias.
The OCT-2 test involves staining tissue sections with an OCT-2 antibody, followed by a detection system that can be visualized under a microscope. The presence of OCT-2 protein in the tissue indicates the presence of B-cell lymphoma or leukemia cells.
The OCT-2 test is just one example of the many different antibodies that can be used in immunohistochemistry to detect specific proteins. It is a valuable tool in the diagnosis and classification of various diseases, including cancer.
