S100 IHC Skin & Nerve Tumor Test | Lahalak Platform
Advanced IHC assay to detect S100 protein, aiding in the precise diagnosis of melanoma and nervous system tumors to ensure an effective treatment plan.
Scientific name: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for S100
An immunohistochemical (IHC) assay is used to detect the S100 protein family, which are calcium-binding proteins. These proteins are commonly expressed in cells derived from the neural crest, including melanocytes (skin), schwann cells (nerve sheath), and glial cells (central nervous system). S100 is a sensitive but not entirely specific marker and...
