HelpTest Code CD10 CD10 Immunostain, Technical Component Only
Ordering Guidance
This test includes only technical performance of the stain (no pathologist interpretation is performed). If diagnostic consultation by a pathologist is required order PATHC / Pathology Consultation.

Clinical Information
CD10 is a cell surface glycoprotein present on bone marrow B precursors (hematogones) and myeloid cells (including neutrophils), follicle center B cells, and a subset of follicular T helper cells. CD10 is also expressed in the brush border of the upper part of the intestinal tract, bile canaliculi, kidney (glomerular and proximal tubular cells), pulmonary alveolar cells, myoepithelial cells of breast, prostate glandular cells, placental trophoblastic cells, endometrial stromal cells, some endothelial cells, and a minority of (myo-)fibroblasts (stromal cells). CD10 is most useful in the diagnosis of B-precursor-acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Burkitt lymphoma, and lymphomas of follicle cell center origin (follicular lymphoma, subset of large B-cell lymphomas).
Interpretation
This test does not include pathologist interpretation; only technical performance of the stain is performed. If an interpretation is required, order PATHC / Pathology Consultation for a full diagnostic evaluation or second opinion of the case.
The positive and negative controls are verified as showing appropriate immunoreactivity. If a control tissue is not included on the slide, a scanned image of the relevant quality control tissue is available upon request; call 855-516-8404.
Interpretation of this test should be performed in the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.
Cautions
Age of a cut paraffin section can affect immunoreactivity. Stability thresholds vary widely among published literature and are antigen dependent. Best practice is for paraffin sections to be cut within 6 weeks.
The charge of glass slides can be affected by environmental factors and subsequently may alter slide staining. Sending unsuitable glass slides can result in inconsistent staining due to poor slide surface chemistry.
Best practices for storage of positively charged slides:
-Minimize time slides are stored after being unpackaged
-Limit exposure to high humidity and heat
-Minimize exposure to plastics

Testing Algorithm
For the initial technical component only immunohistochemical (IHC) stain performed, the appropriate bill-only test ID will be reflexed and charged (IHTOI). For each additional technical component only IHC stain performed, an additional bill-only test ID will be reflexed and charged (IHTOA).
