What is Immunohistochemistry -CD31?

This test uses special antibodies to detect the CD31 protein in a tissue sample, typically from a biopsy. CD31 is a marker found on the cells lining blood vessels, helping to identify their presence and characteristics.

Why is this test important?

Identifying CD31 is crucial for diagnosing vascular tumors, such as hemangiomas and angiosarcomas, and distinguishing them from other soft tissue growths. It also helps assess the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) within tumors.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
