What does this test CD99 (MIC-2) Test Immunohistochemistry identify?

CD99 (MIC-2) Test Immunohistochemistry

The CD99 (MIC-2) Test Immunohistochemistry is a diagnostic test used to identify the presence of CD99 antigen in tissue samples. CD99 is a cell surface glycoprotein that is expressed in a variety of tissues and cell types, including lymphocytes, endothelial cells, and some types of tumors.

This test is commonly used in the diagnosis of certain types of tumors, such as Ewing's sarcoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs), which typically show strong positivity for CD99. The test helps pathologists differentiate between different types of tumors based on their CD99 expression patterns.

During the test, tissue samples are stained with antibodies that specifically target the CD99 antigen. The presence and distribution of CD99 expression in the tissue sample are then analyzed under a microscope. Positive staining for CD99 indicates the presence of the antigen in the tissue, which can aid in the diagnosis and classification of tumors.

Why is this test CD99 (MIC-2) Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

  1. CD99 (MIC-2) Test Immunohistochemistry is taken to aid in the diagnosis of various types of tumors, including Ewing sarcoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma, and mesenchymal tumors.
  2. It helps differentiate between different types of tumors based on the expression of CD99 antigen.
  3. CD99 (MIC-2) Test Immunohistochemistry is also used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment in patients with CD99-positive tumors.
  4. It can provide valuable information for the treatment planning and prognosis of patients with CD99-positive tumors.
