Orderable Test Description
CD56 recognizes two proteins of the neural cell adhesion molecule, the basic molecule expressed on most neuroectodermally-derived cell lines, tissues and neoplasms (e.g. retinoblastoma, medulloblastomas, astrocytomas, and neuroblastomas). It is also expressed on some mesodermally-derived tumors (rhabdomyosarcoma) and on natural killer cells. CD56 can be used as a marker for NK cell neoplasms. Some benign and malignant plasma cells are also positive. CD56 is often positive in neuroendocrine carcinomas.
