Clinical Information for Immunodermatology (Tissue Testing)

Ordering Recommendation

Use to recognize eosinophil involvement/eosinophil-related inflammation with indirect immunofluorescence to detect cellular localization and extracellular deposition of the eosinophil granule core protein (major basic protein 1 [eMBP1]), and/or the eosinophil granule matrix protein (eosinophil-derived neurotoxin [EDN]) in tissues or organs with suspected eosinophil-driven pathophysiology. 

For more information on specimen collection and diseases assessed, see the ARUP Immunobullous Disease Testing Comparison tool.
