New KSVDL Tests
Immunohistochemistry Offerings
- IBA-1 is known as a “panmacrophage marker” that works in most species and will aid in the diagnosis of diseases of histiocytic origin, such as histiocytic sarcoma in dogs.
- Sarcomeric actin is used to stain striated muscle and will aid in the diagnosis of undifferentiated sarcomas and rhadomyosarcomas in dogs.
- Cytokeratin 19 is currently being used to evaluate its expression in certain tumors of epithelial origin, which may lead to its usefulness as a diagnostic or prognostic marker in certain tumors.
