Service Providers for Immunohistochemistry (IHC) panel-4
An Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Panel-4 is a comprehensive diagnostic panel used for complex cases requiring extensive molecular profiling, often in advanced oncology or research settings. This panel includes multiple biomarkers for detailed characterization of tumors, identifying therapeutic targets like EGFR, VEGF, or mismatch repair proteins (MMR).
The procedure involves preparing tissue samples, applying specific antibodies, and visualizing antigen-antibody reactions using chromogenic or fluorescent methods. Proper sample handling and fixation are crucial for accuracy. The panel supports diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy selection, particularly for targeted treatments. While risks are minimal, limited to biopsy collection, factors such as antigen loss or nonspecific staining can affect outcomes, underscoring the need for standardized protocols.
