Clinical Information
Cyclin D1 is a protein that regulates entry of the cell into cell cycle. It drives the transition between G0 and G1 phase. In normal tissues, basal epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and stromal cells are often cyclin D1 positive. As a result of a translocation involving the cyclin D1 gene and IgH, t(11;14), the vast majority of mantle cell lymphomas overexpress cyclin D1. This is a useful feature in the classification of low-grade B-cell lymphomas.
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.
Cautions
The charge of glass slides can be affected by environmental factors and subsequently may alter slide staining. Sending unsuitable glass slides can result in inconsistent staining due to poor slide surface chemistry.
Best practices for storage of positively charged slides:
-Minimize time slides are stored after being unpackaged
-Limit exposure to high humidity and heat
-Minimize exposure to plastics
