Clinical information
|
SV40 (MRQ-4) antibody is intended for qualified laboratories to qualitatively identify by light microscopy the presence of associated antigens in sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections using IHC test methods. Use of this antibody is indicated, after clinical differential diagnoses of diseases, as an aid in the identification of Simian Virus 40 within the context of antibody panels, the patient’s clinical history, and other diagnostic tests evaluated by a qualified pathologist.
