About test
What does IHC - Desmin - (Outlab) measure?
Desmin immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a tissue-based test that detects desmin, a protein commonly found in muscle cells. It may help healthcare professionals evaluate tumours or other tissue abnormalities for evidence of muscle or myofibroblastic differentiation. The test can support the classification of certain soft-tissue, smooth-muscle, and skeletal-muscle tumours when interpreted alongside tissue appearance, other IHC markers, and clinical information.
