TECHONLY
This test includes only technical performance of the stain (no pathologist interpretation is performed). If diagnostic consultation by a pathologist is required order PATHC / Pathology Consultation.
Attach the green pathology address label and the pink Immunostain Technical Only label included in the kit to the outside of the transport container.
Supplies: Immunostain Technical Only Envelope (T693)
Specimen Type: Tissue
Container/Tube: Immunostain Technical Only Envelope
Preferred: 2 Unstained positively charged glass slide (25- x 75- x 1-mm) per test ordered; sections 4-microns thick
Acceptable: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block
1. Information on accessing digital images of immunohistochemical (IHC) stains and the manual requisition form can be accessed through this website: https://news.mayocliniclabs.com/ihc-stains/
2. Clients ordering stains using a manual requisition form will not have access to digital images.
3. Clients wishing to access digital images must place the order for IHC stains electronically. Information regarding digital imaging can be accessed through this website: https://news.mayocliniclabs.com/ihc-stains/#FAQ
If not ordering electronically, complete, print, and send a Immunohistochemical (IHC)/In Situ Hybridization (ISH) Stains Request (T763) with the specimen.

Identification of T lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, plasma cells, and a subset of B lymphocytes
CD43 (cluster of differentiation 43) is expressed by T lymphocytes and myeloid cells including granulocytes and precursors, monocytes, macrophages, histiocytes, plasma cells and megakaryocytes. In normal tonsil, CD43 will mainly show staining in T lymphocytes, histiocytes and plasma cells.
This test does not include pathologist interpretation; only technical performance of the stain. If an interpretation is required order PATHC / Pathology Consultation for a full diagnostic evaluation or second opinion of the case.
The positive and negative controls are verified as showing appropriate immunoreactivity and documentation is retained at Mayo Clinic Rochester. If a control tissue is not included on the slide, a scanned image of the relevant quality control tissue is available upon request. Contact 855-516-8404.
Interpretation of this test should be performed in the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.
Age of a cut paraffin section can affect immunoreactivity. Stability thresholds vary widely among published literature and are antigen dependent. Best practice is for paraffin sections to be cut within 6 weeks.
