Neurofilament IHC Nerve Test | Lahalak Platform
Precise analysis for diagnosing nervous system tumors and assessing neural tissue health in degenerative diseases, providing a clear view of nerve cell status and ensuring medical diagnostic accuracy.
Scientific name: Neurofilament Immunohistochemistry Test
Neurofilament immunohistochemistry (NF) aims to detect the three intermediate filament proteins (NF-L, NF-M, and NF-H) that form the cytoskeleton of axons and dendrites in neurons of the central and peripheral nervous systems. It is a highly specific and sensitive marker of neural differentiation and is used to confirm the neural origin of cells in...

Medical Service Information
Conditions & Notices
- Fasting is not required, as the sample is tissue-based (tumor biopsy or nerve tissue).
- For central nervous system biopsies: The specimen must be immediately preserved in 10% formalin with careful handling.
- This analysis is routinely requested when a neuroblastoma or any other tumor of possible neurological origin is suspected.
- It is often requested as part of a diagnostic package for nervous system tumors or small round cell tumors, with markers such as Synaptophysin, Chromogranin, S100, and CD99.
