Clinical Information

Cluster of differentiation 61 (CD61) shows cytoplasmic staining of normal and abnormal megakaryocytes and occasional endothelial cells. Antibodies to CD61 are most useful in recognizing micromegakaryocytes, cytologically abnormal megakaryocytes, and megakaryoblasts in cases of acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, myeloproliferative disorders, and myelodysplastic syndromes.

Interpretation

This test does not include pathologist interpretation, only technical performance of the stain. If 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.
