Test Details
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique used in pathology to detect specific proteins in tissue samples. It involves the use of antibodies that bind to specific proteins of interest, followed by the detection of the antibody-protein complex using a visualization method.
A single marker immunohistochemistry test refers to the detection of a specific protein using a single antibody. The choice of marker depends on the specific question being asked and the protein of interest. For example, common markers used in immunohistochemistry include cytokeratins for epithelial cells, CD20 for B-cells, and CD3 for T-cells.
Interpretation of an immunohistochemistry test involves examining the staining pattern and intensity of the protein of interest. The presence or absence of staining, as well as the cellular localization (e.g., cytoplasmic, nuclear, membranous), can provide important diagnostic and prognostic information.
Interpretation can vary depending on the specific marker and the context in which it is being used. For example, in breast cancer, the presence of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) staining indicates hormone receptor positivity, which can guide treatment decisions. Similarly, the presence of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) staining can indicate a more aggressive form of breast cancer and guide targeted therapy options.
It is important to note that interpretation of immunohistochemistry results should be done by trained pathologists who are familiar with the specific markers and their significance in different disease contexts.
