What is Immunohistochemistry -CD21?

This test uses immunohistochemistry to detect the CD21 protein in a tissue sample. CD21 is primarily found on follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) and B-lymphocytes, playing a role in immune responses. It helps visualize the structure of lymphoid follicles.

Why is this test important?

The CD21 test is valuable for evaluating the architecture of lymphoid tissues and diagnosing certain lymphoid neoplasms. It helps identify follicular dendritic cell networks, which is crucial for classifying follicular lymphomas and other related conditions.
