The purpose of a PBS immunocytochemistry test is to detect and identify specific proteins within cells. It uses antibodies to visualize protein expression and localization. For example CD56 is expressed by the natural killer cell. CD34 is made by stem cells. This test is best interpreted with the help of a hematology specialist.
