Q-STAIN (QSXTM)-Enh CD45 antibody is intended for laboratory use to qualitatively identify by light microscopy the presence of CD45 molecules in sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections or frozen tissues using immunohistochemistry (IHC) test methods. The clinical interpretation of any staining or its absence should be complemented by morphological studies using proper controls and should be evaluated within the context of the patient’s clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist/physician. These reagents have been formulated to ready-to-use concentration and optimized for IHC on specific tissue application use without further dilution.
Summary and Explanation:
QSX-Enh CD45 is a ready-to-use mouse monoclonal antibody reagent (clone C95). The CD45 antibody is intended for laboratory use as a qualitative immunohistochemistry reagent for the identification of a broad range of leucocytes. CD45 is also named Leucocyte Common Antigen (LCA). It expresses in all leucocytes including both B and T lymphocytes as well as other hematopoietic cells, such as basophils, granulocytes, macrophages / histiocytes, mast cells, and monocytes. This test may be applied to individuals suspected of having related forms of lymphomas, other hematopoietic tumors, etc.1,2 See Q-STAIN X User’s Guide to learn more about test protocols.
