Orderable Test Description
Monoclonal antibodies AE1 and AE3 recognize the acidic and basic subfamilies of cytokeratin, respectively, thus the combination of these two antibodies can be used to detect almost all human epithelia. In surgical pathology, it is an important marker for carcinoma as well as some special tumor types which have an epithelial component or differentiation. This cocktail has been used to differentiate epithelial from non-epithelial tumors.
Note: Global interpretation is only available for sentinel nodes. For Pan-Cytokeratin performed on sentinel nodes, please refer to Carcinoma Micromets testing.
