What is Immunohistochemistry -CD23?

This test utilizes immunohistochemistry to identify the CD23 protein within a tissue sample. CD23 is a receptor found on activated B-cells, follicular dendritic cells, and some T-cells. It helps characterize specific cell populations in lymphoid tissues.

Why is this test important?

The CD23 test is important for distinguishing between different types of B-cell lymphomas, particularly chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) from other similar conditions. It aids in accurate diagnosis and classification.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
