Adenovirus
Use
Adenovirus immunohistochemical testing enables rapid identification of adenovirus infections in tissue specimens by targeting viral antigens of serogroups 2 and 5. Such testing is valuable in confirming latent or active adenoviral involvement in lymphoid tissues, supporting histologic diagnosis.

Level of service options include Global (full testing) and Tech‑Only (stain only). New York state clients must include date and time of collection. Use cold pack for specimen transport without direct specimen contact. Block and slide identifiers must match the requisition.
Limitations
Not specified; common considerations include tissue quality, fixation, and antigen preservation which may impact IHC staining integrity (e.g., age of block, slide preparation), although these are not explicitly detailed on the page.
