Immunohistochemistry

A Diagnostic Modality Supporting  Anatomic Pathology

The Stanford Immunodiagnosis Laboratory provides clinical testing on surgical, cytology, and frozen muscle biopsy specimens for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers. We offer an extensive list of immunohistochemical and in-situ hybridization assays that detect tumor markers, enzymes and infectious agents.
