What is Immunohistochemistry -CD43?

This test uses specific antibodies to detect the CD43 protein in a tissue sample. CD43 is present on most hematopoietic cells, including T cells and a subset of B cells, helping to classify cell types.

Why is this test important?

CD43 testing is useful in diagnosing various lymphomas, particularly T-cell lymphomas and certain B-cell lymphomas like chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. It helps differentiate between different lymphoid proliferations.
