Test Name: D240 by Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

What is D240 by IHC?
D240 is an immunohistochemical (IHC) marker that detects podoplanin, a protein commonly expressed on lymphatic endothelial cells. It is primarily used to identify lymphatic vessels in tissue sections and can assist pathologists in evaluating lymphatic involvement in tumors.

Clinical Applications:

• Identification of lymphatic vessels in tissue specimens
• Assessment of lymphatic invasion by tumors
• Support in the evaluation of tumor spread and metastasis
• Differentiation of lymphatic vessels from blood vessels
• Used as part of an IHC panel along with other relevant markers

Sample: Tissue / biopsy specimen
Method: Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
Report: Interpretation by a qualified pathologist

Important: D240 IHC results should be interpreted along with histopathology findings and other relevant clinical and immunohistochemical markers.
