What is Immunohistochemistry -CD5?

This test examines tissue for the presence of CD5, a protein found on certain types of immune cells, including T-cells and a subset of B-cells. It helps identify specific cell types within a tissue sample.

CD5 is crucial for diagnosing specific lymphomas and leukemias, such as T-cell lymphomas and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Its detection aids in accurate classification and guides appropriate treatment strategies.
