CD56 Antibody (Immunohistochemistry)

The CD56 Antibody (also known as N-CAM, Leu-19, or NKH-1) is an important
immunohistochemical marker used for identifying
neural-derived cells and specific immune cell populations, especially:

• Natural Killer (NK) cells
• Subsets of T cells
• Neuronal and glial cells

CD56 is normally expressed in neurons, glial cells, Schwann cells, NK cells, and certain T-cell subsets.

In diagnostic pathology, CD56 expression is frequently observed in:

• NK/T-cell lymphomas
• T-cell lymphomas
• Plasma cell neoplasms

IHC staining shows a distinct brown membranous pattern, making CD56 a valuable marker for tumor classification.

🔬 Features and Benefits

• Specific marker for NK cells and select T-cell populations
• Clear brown membranous staining in positive cells
• Essential for diagnosing NK/T-cell lymphoma and plasma cell neoplasms
• Compatible with FFPE tissues and standard IHC protocols
• 18-month stability at 2–8 °C

💡 Diagnostic Applications

• Detection of NK/T-cell lymphomas
• Identification of neuroendocrine and neural-origin tumors
• Evaluation of plasma cell neoplasms
• Research on cell adhesion and innate immune biology
