CD31, technical only
Use
CD31 antigen is expressed on the surface of endothelial cells in a variety of tissues with some reactivity noted in platelets, monocytes, granulocytes, and B-cells. This test provides a technical component only, without pathologist reading, for applications in histological analysis.
Special Instructions
This test is technical only, meaning it does not include a pathologist read. It is suited for clinical purposes within the constraints of biopharma protocol requirements. Specimens may require formalin fixation and careful storage considerations.
Limitations
The test is limited to the technical component of CD31 staining and does not include interpretation by a pathologist. Stability and storage conditions must be adhered to, with formalin fixation being mandatory for certain specimen types.
