TTF1 Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
Use
Thyroid Transcription Factory (TTF1) is predominantly found in lung and thyroid neoplasms. The utility of TTF1 becomes apparent in the differential diagnosis of primary versus metastatic carcinomas, especially in the lung.
Special Instructions
This clone is sensitive and may show weak staining in non-lung tissues. Use cold pack for transport, ensuring it's not in direct contact with specimen.
Limitations
The test may show weak staining in non-lung tissues, which could affect interpretation if not carefully evaluated alongside other diagnostic criteria.
