Thrombomodulin

Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue block or cell block, or 1 unstained charged slide for each test requested plus 3-4 additional unstained slides cut at 4 microns. Adequate space on each slide for control tissue is required.

This is a send out test.

Identifies: Thrombomodulin (CD141), an integral membrane protein expressed on the surface of endothelial cells, and hence a marker of endothelial cells and vascular neoplasms. Thromobomodulin is also expressed on mesothelial cells, and may be used as part of a broader panel of antibodies in the distinction of mesothelioma from adenocarcinoma.
