CXCL13 by Immunohistochemistry
Also known as: CXCL13 IHC
Use
The CXCL13 by Immunohistochemistry test is used for the detection and localization of CXCL13 expression in tissue samples. CXCL13 is a chemokine involved in the homing of B cells to lymphoid tissues and has significance in certain lymphomas and inflammatory conditions. This test is useful in identifying CXCL13 expression in pathological specimens, which may assist in the diagnosis and classification of certain diseases.
