INI1 (BAF47) by Immunohistochemistry
Also known as: BAF47 IHC
Use
The INI1 (BAF47) by Immunohistochemistry test is a stain service intended for diagnostic purposes. It is often used in the detection and characterization of tumors and other pathological conditions where INI1 expression is relevant. The test provides valuable insights for pathologists in determining the presence or absence of INI1 protein expression in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections or cell blocks, aiding in the diagnosis and classification of neoplastic conditions.
Special Instructions
For ordering, submit an electronic request or use an ARUP Immunohistochemistry Stain Form (#32978) with an ARUP client number if electronic ordering is unavailable. Transport tissue blocks or unstained slides using ARUP supply #47808 tissue transport kit. Protect specimens from excessive heat and do not oven-bake slides if sending them pre-cut.
Limitations
This test is a technical service provided as a stain and return service only. It may not include interpretive reporting. Depletion or non-representative tissue types may render specimens unacceptable. Additionally, insufficiencies in specimen handling and preparation, such as incorrect formalin fixation or inadequate section thickness, may affect the result quality.
