CD71
Product Code: NCL-L-CD71-309
Intended Use
For in vitro diagnostic use.
NCL-L-CD71-309 is intended for the qualitative identification by light microscopy of human CD71 molecules in paraffin sections The
clinical interpretation of any staining or its absence should be complemented by morphological studies using proper controls and should
be evaluated within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.
Principle of Procedure
Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining techniques allow for the visualization of antigens via the sequential application of a specific antibody
to the antigen (primary antibody), a secondary antibody to the primary antibody and an enzyme complex with a chromogenic substrate
with interposed washing steps. The enzymatic activation of the chromogen results in a visible reaction product at the antigen site. The
specimen may then be counterstained and coverslipped. Results are interpreted using a light microscope and aid in the differential
diagnosis of pathophysiological processes, which may or may not be associated with a particular antigen.

Warnings and Precautions
This reagent has been prepared from the supernatant of cell culture. As it is a biological product, reasonable care should be taken when
handling it.
This reagent contains sodium azide. A Material Safety Data Sheet is available upon request or available from
www.LeicaBiosystems.com
Consult federal, state or local regulations for disposal of any potentially toxic components.
Specimens, before and after fixation, and all materials exposed to them, should be handled as if capable of transmitting infection and
disposed of with proper precautions. Never pipette reagents by mouth and avoid contacting the skin and mucous membranes with
1
reagents and specimens. If reagents or specimens come in contact with sensitive areas, wash with copious amounts of water. Seek
medical advice.
Minimize microbial contamination of reagents or an increase in non-specific staining may occur.
Incubation times or temperatures, other than those specified, may give erroneous results. Any such changes must be validated by the
user.
