IHC - CD1a - (Outlab)
What does IHC - CD1a - (Outlab) measure?
CD1a immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a tissue-based test that detects the CD1a protein in cells. CD1a is commonly expressed by certain immune cells, including Langerhans cells and cortical thymocytes. This test may help healthcare professionals assess the presence and distribution of these cells in tissue and support the evaluation of conditions such as Langerhans cell proliferations or selected lymphoid tumors. Results are interpreted together with tissue appearance, other marker tests, and clinical information.
