Immunohistology

We offer a range of diagnostic immunohistology services, for the identification of tumour cell origin, prognosis and tumour grading, and the demonstration of infectious agents.

  • Results are expected in about seven working days from receipt

  • This service is available to external pathology services, on receipt of paraffin wax blocks. Results are provided with interpretation of results. Slides are kept for teaching purposes
  • We may also recommend immunohistological staining on other biopsy submissions, or post-mortem examination histopathology samples, to aid diagnosis
  • We also offer a tumour grading and prognostic and predictive evaluation service
  • Tumour panels and new antibodies are often in development. Stay updated and contact us at vpserve@liverpool.ac.uk
  • We offer a wide range of infectious agent antibodies to confirm viral and bacterial diseases on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue
