CD15
The CD15 test, also known as the "Leu-M1" or "X-hapten" test, is commonly referred to as the "Granulocyte Marker" test in its subtitle. It is used in immunohistochemistry to identify specific antigens expressed on the surface of granulocytes, particularly neutrophils. CD15 is also expressed in certain types of cancer cells, such as those in Hodgkin's lymphoma, making it useful in pathology for diagnostic purposes.
