Service Providers for Immunohistochemistry (IHC) panel-1
An Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Panel-1 is a diagnostic test using antibodies to detect specific antigens in tissue samples, helping identify the presence and type of diseases, such as cancers or infections. This panel typically includes a set of markers tailored to the suspected condition, such as cytokeratins, hormone receptors, or proliferation markers.
Tissue is fixed, processed, and sectioned for staining with antibodies, followed by visualization using chromogenic or fluorescent methods. Preparation involves proper biopsy handling to ensure antigen preservation. Risks are minimal, mainly related to tissue collection. Results guide diagnosis and treatment plans by identifying cell types and molecular pathways. Factors like tissue quality or pre-analytical handling may affect results.
