Test Name: CD30
Methodology: IHC
Test Description
CD30 is expressed in the membrane and Golgi zone of normal activated B- and T-lymphocytes (immunoblasts). CD30 expression is found on neoplastic cells of some peripheral T-cell lymphomas, some of which are defined by the presence of this marker (e.g. anaplastic large cell lymphoma, CD30+ primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas), mediastinal large B-cell lymphomas, Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells of classical Hodgkin lymphoma and embryonal carcinoma.
Specimen Requirements
A formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block is preferred specimen type or one (1) unbaked, unstained slide cut at 4-5 microns for H&E staining (required) and two to three (2-3) positively charged unstained slides cut at 3-4 microns for each test/antibody ordered.
