Immunohistochemistry Department

The Immunohistochemistry Department of Prestige Medical Laboratory provides advanced diagnostic tissue staining techniques used in identifying specific cellular and molecular markers in tissue samples. This department bridges pathology and immunology, offering detailed insights into disease mechanisms and precise tumor classification.

Our Areas of Focus

• Detection and localization of antigens in tissue sections using specific antibodies.
• Characterization and subtyping of malignant tumors for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
• Assessment of hormonal receptor status (ER, PR, HER2) in breast cancer cases.
• Identification of infectious agents in tissue biopsies (e.g., viruses, fungi, bacteria).
• Evaluation of immune response and inflammatory processes at tissue level.
• Use of both manual and automated IHC staining systems for efficiency and precision.

Technology & Equipment

The department is equipped with automated immunostainers, cryostats, high-resolution microscopes, and specialized tissue processors. Each antibody panel is validated according to international standards for diagnostic accuracy.

Quality Assurance

Strict quality control protocols are followed in all stages — from tissue fixation to final reporting. Each test includes positive and negative controls to ensure the validity of results. The department participates in external quality assessment schemes to maintain excellence in reporting.
