What is Immunohistochemistry -CD45 (LCA)?

This test uses a tissue sample to detect CD45, a protein found on most white blood cells. It helps pathologists determine if a tumor originates from white blood cells, which is crucial for accurate diagnosis.

Why is this test important?

CD45 is a key marker for distinguishing lymphomas (cancers of white blood cells) from other types of tumors, such as carcinomas or sarcomas. Its presence or absence guides further diagnostic steps and treatment planning.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
