What does this test CD68 Test Immunohistochemistry identify?

CD68 Test Immunohistochemistry

The CD68 Test Immunohistochemistry is a laboratory test that identifies the presence of CD68, a protein marker that is commonly found on the surface of macrophages and monocytes. This test is used to detect and quantify macrophages in tissue samples, which can be helpful in diagnosing various diseases and conditions.

Macrophages play a crucial role in the immune system by engulfing and digesting foreign substances, dead cells, and other debris. They are also involved in the inflammatory response and tissue repair. By identifying the presence of CD68 on macrophages in tissue samples, healthcare providers can gain valuable information about the immune response and inflammatory processes occurring in the body.

Why is this test CD68 Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

CD68 is a marker for macrophages and is commonly used in immunohistochemistry to identify and quantify macrophages in tissue samples. This test is taken to help diagnose and monitor various diseases and conditions that involve macrophage activity, such as infections, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and certain types of cancer.
