What is Immunohistochemistry -CD15?

This test involves applying special stains to a tissue sample to detect the CD15 protein. It helps pathologists identify specific cell types and their characteristics within the tissue.

Why is this test important?

CD15 is primarily used in the diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma, where it is typically found on Reed-Sternberg cells. It also helps in distinguishing Hodgkin lymphoma from other types of lymphomas and certain non-lymphoid malignancies.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
