IHC – WT – 1

Description

The WT1 (Wilms Tumor 1) immunohistochemistry (IHC) test is used to detect the presence of the WT1 protein in tissue samples, which can be helpful in diagnosing and classifying various cancers. WT1 is a transcription factor that plays a role in the development of several cancers, including Wilms tumor, mesothelioma, and serous carcinoma. The test involves staining tissue samples with antibodies that bind to the WT1 protein, allowing pathologists to visualize its presence and distribution within the cells.
