Understanding Your Results

Interpretation of the Immunohistochemistry CD35 Test involves assessing the presence and intensity of CD35 staining in tissue sections. Positive results indicate CD35 expression, which can help identify specific cell types like follicular dendritic cells. Results should be integrated with clinical and histopathological data for accurate diagnosis.
📊

Positive CD35 Expression

Suggests presence of follicular dendritic cells or granulocytes; may indicate conditions like follicular dendritic-cell sarcoma or immune dysregulation.

📊

Negative CD35 Expression

No detectable CD35 protein; rules out certain cell types but requires further tests for diagnosis.

📊

Weak Staining

Low CD35 expression; may require additional validation or clinical correlation.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult your doctor if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, fatigue, joint pain, rash, or unexplained swelling, especially if cancer or autoimmune disease is suspected.

Limitations

  • Not a standalone diagnostic tool; requires correlation with histopathology and clinical history
  • May yield false positives/negatives due to technical issues
  • Limited to protein expression analysis; does not provide genetic information

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk associated with tissue biopsy, such as infection or bleeding at the site
  • Allergic reactions to fixatives are rare

Interfering Factors

  • Poor tissue fixation or handling
  • Inadequate sample size
  • Use of incorrect staining protocols
  • Contamination or degradation of tissue
