What does this test 34 Beta E12 (HMW-CK) Test Immunohistochemistry identify?

Test 34 Beta E12 (HMW-CK) Test Immunohistochemistry

This test identifies the presence of Beta E12 (High-Molecular-Weight Cytokeratin) in tissue samples through immunohistochemistry. Cytokeratins are proteins found in epithelial cells and their expression can help in identifying the origin of certain tumors.

The Beta E12 antibody specifically targets high-molecular-weight cytokeratins, which are commonly found in epithelial cells of the prostate, urinary bladder, and other tissues. The immunohistochemistry technique involves using antibodies to bind to the Beta E12 protein in tissue samples, allowing for visualization under a microscope.

Results of the Test 34 Beta E12 (HMW-CK) Test Immunohistochemistry can help in diagnosing and determining the origin of certain types of cancers, particularly those arising from epithelial cells.

Why is this test 34 Beta E12 (HMW-CK) Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

Test 34 Beta E12 (HMW-CK) Test Immunohistochemistry is taken to detect the presence of high molecular weight cytokeratin (HMW-CK) in tissues. Cytokeratins are proteins found in epithelial cells and are useful markers for identifying different types of cancers, especially those originating from epithelial tissues.

This test is commonly used in the diagnosis and classification of various types of cancer, such as breast cancer, lung cancer, and prostate cancer. By detecting the presence of HMW-CK in tissue samples, pathologists can determine the type and origin of the cancer cells, which can help in developing an appropriate treatment plan.

Immunohistochemistry is a technique used to visualize specific proteins in tissue samples by using antibodies that bind to the target protein. In the case of the Beta E12 (HMW-CK) Test, specific antibodies are used to detect the presence of HMW-CK in the tissue sample.
