    🦴 As we recognize Sarcoma/Bone Cancer Awareness Month, it's crucial to shine a light on key markers in clinical and research that play roles in our understanding of this disease. ✨Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is also known as Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). It encodes a latent nuclear antigen which is the product of the viral gene ORF73.1 ✨IHC staining for HHV-8 is a valuable tool in confirming the diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma, particularly in cases where clinical presentation or histology is inconclusive. ✨HHV-8 is strongly linked to Kaposi's sarcoma, a vascular tumor that can manifest in different forms, including classic, endemic, iatrogenic, and epidemic . Let's continue our collective efforts in research, awareness, and support to better understand, prevent, and treat cancer. Knowledge is our best weapon. 💪🎀 https://lnkd.in/dWjVMp4G Let's continue our collective efforts in research, awareness, and support to better understand, prevent, and treat melanoma.

    Ki-67 - In Stock, Ready to Ship 📦 Ki-67 is a monoclonal (MIB-1 and SP6 Clones) antibody that are intended for laboratory use in the qualitative identification of Ki-67 protein by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human tissues. The clinical interpretation of any staining or its absence should be complemented by morphological studies using proper controls and should be evaluated within the context of the patient’s clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.

    🎗️Cancer Survivor Awareness Month This month is Cancer Survivor Awareness Month. We honor those who have faced the immeasurable challenges of a cancer diagnosis and emerged victorious, encouraging others with their stories of faith, hope, and courage. They inspire us with their love, strength, and determination. This month is also a reminder of the progress made in cancer treatments and the ongoing need for diagnostic support and research. Our foundational mission at Biocare is "fighting cancer one slide at a time" and we celebrate this month with the friends and families of those that have conquered or are still fighting this terrible disease. Let’s use this month to amplify the voices of cancer survivors, celebrate their victories, and commit to supporting their journey every step of the way.

    Melanoma Awareness Month Spotlight: The role of MART-1/Melan-A cocktail (clones M2-7C10 + M2-9E3) The MART-1/Melan-A cocktail (clones M2-7C10 + M2-9E3) recognizes a protein of 18 kDa, identified as MART-1 antibody (Melanoma Antigen Recognized by T cells 1) or Melan-A. MART-1 antibody recognizes a subcellular fraction found in melanosomes. ✨The antibody labels melanomas and tumors showing melanocytic differentiation. ✨It does not mark neoplasms of epithelial origin, lymphomas or mesenchymal tumors. ✨MART-1 is a useful addition to melanoma panels which are specific to melanocytic lesions. https://lnkd.in/gmBdy5bv Let's continue our collective efforts in research, awareness, and support to better understand, prevent, and treat melanoma.

    Melanoma Awareness Month Spotlight: The role of Melan-A (MART-1) As we recognize Melanoma Awareness Month, it's crucial to shine a light on key markers in clinical and research that play roles in our understanding of this disease. ✨Melan-A (MART-1) [A103], is a vital tool in diagnostic immunohistochemistry assays, particularly in the evaluation of melanocytic lesions like melanoma. ✨Its use allows for accurate identification of melanocytic differentiation, aiding in the confirmation of melanoma diagnoses and differentiation from other skin cancers. ✨The Melan-A A103 clone, unlike clones M2-7C10 and M2-9E3, can also aid in the recognition of steroid hormone-producing tumors and may be particularly useful in the diagnosis of adrenocortical carcinoma https://lnkd.in/gd63ijQT Let's continue our collective efforts in research, awareness, and support to better understand, prevent, and treat melanoma.

    As we recognize Melanoma Awareness Month, it's crucial to shine a light on key markers in clinical and research that play roles in our understanding of this disease. The cocktail of HMB45 and MART-1 is a commonly used immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining combination in the diagnosis and characterization of melanoma. Here's how each marker contributes to melanoma diagnostics and how the cocktail enhances the diagnostic utility: Combined Utility of HMB45 and MART-1 Cocktail: Enhanced Sensitivity and Specificity: The cocktail of HMB45 and MART-1 offers enhanced sensitivity and specificity for melanocytic lesions compared to using either marker alone. The combined staining helps in confirming the melanocytic origin of tumors and differentiating melanomas from other types of malignancies. Improved Diagnostic Accuracy: The use of the HMB45 and MART-1 cocktail improves the diagnostic accuracy of melanoma, especially in challenging cases where morphological evaluation alone may be inconclusive. Treatment Planning and Prognostication: The expression levels of HMB45 and MART-1 may also provide valuable information for treatment planning, including targeted therapies and immunotherapies. While their individual prognostic significance is still under investigation, their combined expression can aid in assessing tumor aggressiveness and potential for metastasis. Research and Clinical Trials: The HMB45 and MART-1 cocktail is widely used in research settings and clinical trials to study the biology, progression, and treatment response of melanoma, as well as to identify potential therapeutic targets. https://lnkd.in/gQnDq2_z
