Summary & Explanation
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"CD15, also named Lewis x or stage specific embryonic antigen-1 is a trisaccharide determinant (3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine) expressed on several glycolipids, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans of various cell types (granulocytes, mast cells, monocytes, macrophages, cells of gastric mucosa, nervous system or various tumour cells). CD15 is reported to function as an adhesion molecule and is involved in chemotaxis and phagocytosis. It is also expressed in Hodgkin’s disease, some B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemias, acute lymphoblastic leukemias, and most acute non-lymphocytic leukemias according to literature."}]}]}
Presentation
Five slides of CD15 positive tissues, each mounted on Hydrophilic Plus Slides, provided in a plastic mailer.
Principle of Procedure
Control slides are Hydrophilic Plus Slides with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue or cell sections mounted on them, serving as a tool to qualitatively verify the performance of immunohistochemical staining
