Cd 103 Immunohistochemistry Biopsy Tissue
What is this test?
CD103, also known as integrin alpha E, is an integrin subunit protein, which is widely expressed on T cells. CD103 is a useful diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia. CD103 antibody recognizes the integrin subunit CD103 cell surface antigen, which is characteristically expressed in hairy cell leukemia (HCL), a B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. CD103 EP206 has demonstrated reactivity in FFPE (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded) tissue, eliminating the need for flow cytometric analysis or frozen section IHC, making it a valuable addition to an immunohistochemistry (IHC) panel for the diagnosis of HCL. Other antibodies that have been used in conjunction with CD103 for the detection of HCL include CD25, TIA-1, DBA44 and CD11c. Intraepithelial CD8 (+) tumorinfiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) that express CD103 have been shown to be strongly associated with patient survival in high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
Also known as IHC Marker CD 103 Immunohistochemistry Biopsy Tissue, CD 103 Count Immunohistochemistry Biopsy Tissue.
