What does this test Cytokeratin AE1 / AE3 Test Immunohistochemistry identify?

  • This test identifies the presence of cytokeratin AE1 and AE3 proteins in tissue samples.
  • Cytokeratins are a group of intermediate filaments that are found in epithelial cells and are important for maintaining the structural integrity of these cells.
  • The AE1 and AE3 antibodies used in this test specifically bind to different subtypes of cytokeratin proteins, allowing for the identification of different types of epithelial cells.
  • By staining tissue samples with the AE1/AE3 antibodies, pathologists can determine if a tumor or lesion is of epithelial origin, aiding in the diagnosis of various cancers and other diseases.

Why is this test Cytokeratin AE1 / AE3 Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

Reasons for taking the Cytokeratin AE1/AE3 Test:

  • 1. Diagnosis of Cancer: The Cytokeratin AE1/AE3 test is commonly used in the diagnosis of various types of cancers, particularly carcinomas. Cytokeratins are proteins found in epithelial cells, which are the cells that line organs and tissues. Abnormal levels of cytokeratin can indicate the presence of cancer.
  • 2. Differentiation of Tumor Types: This test can help differentiate between different types of tumors based on their cytokeratin expression patterns. This information is crucial for determining the most appropriate treatment plan for the patient.
  • 3. Monitoring Treatment Response: The Cytokeratin AE1/AE3 test can also be used to monitor the response to cancer treatment. Changes in cytokeratin levels can indicate whether the treatment is effective or if adjustments are needed.
  • 4. Prognosis: In some cases, the results of the Cytokeratin AE1/AE3 test can provide valuable information about the prognosis of the patient, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions about the patient's care.
