CD25 by Immunohistochemistry
Also known as: CD25 IHC
Use
This technical service performs immunohistochemical staining for CD25 (the interleukin‑2 receptor alpha chain) on tissue or cell specimens, facilitating detection of CD25 expression in diagnostic contexts such as hematolymphoid neoplasms. As a stain‑and‑return (technical) assay, it provides the laboratory stain without interpretive diagnostic reporting, enabling downstream pathology evaluation.
