Understanding Your Immune Health: The Perforin Test
When your immune system isn’t working properly, it can feel confusing and overwhelming. The Immunohistochemistry Perforin Test provides the clarity you need to understand what’s happening with your body’s natural defences. This specialised test examines the perforin protein in your tissue samples, giving our expert pathologists crucial information about your immune function.
What Does the Perforin Test Detect?
Perforin is a protein that plays a vital role in your immune system’s ability to fight infections and abnormal cells. Think of it as your body’s “security guard” – it helps immune cells eliminate threats. When perforin levels are abnormal, it can indicate various immune disorders that might be causing your health concerns. Our test uses advanced immunohistochemistry technology to precisely measure perforin expression in your tissue samples, providing accurate results you can trust.
