CD10 Test

CD 10 (Calla) test is performed on a sample of biopsy tissue to measure the level of CD 10 (Calla) in the biopsy tissue. It is performed to confirm Common Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and also during the treatment and after the treatment of Common Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. This test may be ordered when a person has an increased number of lymphocytes , an increased or decreased platelet count, or has immature WBCs that are not normally seen in blood.

No special preparation is needed for the CD 10 test. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing the test. Your doctor depending on your condition will give specific instructions. Sometimes, a blood test may be required. It is recommended that you should either wear a sleeve-less or a short-sleeved shirt. Wearing a shirt with full- sleeves that can easily be rolled-up is also fine.

As mentioned above, the CD 10 test is used to measure the level of CD 10 in the biopsy tissue. It can be confirmed from the test reports that: The normal result for the CD 10 test is positive in Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, marker for Myoeithelial cells for unisex gender and for all age groups.

The CD 10 test is done using Immunohistochemistry method on a biopsy tissue sample: A bone marrow aspiration collects a sample of the fluid that contains cells so that they can be examined under a microscope and/or evaluated with other tests. A biopsy collects a cylindrical core sample that preserves the marrow's structure. The biopsy sample is evaluated to determine the relationships of bone marrow cells to one another and the overall cellularity – the relative ratio of marrow cells to fat and other constituents present in the sample.
