CD99 Price in Bangladesh

What is CD99?

CD99 is a cell surface protein expressed on various cell types, including T lymphocytes, endothelial cells, and certain tumor cells, playing a role in cell adhesion, migration, and signaling. Clinically, it is a key diagnostic marker for Ewing’s sarcoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET), as these malignancies typically show strong expression of CD99.

It is also used in immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry to differentiate these tumors from other cancers, as well as in the diagnosis of T cell lymphomas and other hematologic conditions. CD99 is particularly valuable in tumor identification and characterization in oncology.

What to expect & how to prepare

CD99 is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your CD99 result rather than self-diagnosing.
