IgG by IHC-12376 - Technical only, 12379 - Technical & interpretation

Test info

  
IgG by IHC
  
12376 - Technical only, 12379 - Technical & interpretation
  
LAB12376
LAB12379
  
Immunoglobulin G
  
All IHC stains will include a positive control tissue
  
  • IgG labels plasma cells
  • IgG stains will show an interstitial dendritic pattern within lymphoid follicles, (this represents extracellular immune complexes which are bound to the surface of specialized follicular dendritic cells)
  • IgG will label occasional B cell lymphomas
  

When ordering as Technical with Intrepretation, both IgG by IHC and IgG4 by IHC must be ordered together
