Orderable Test Description
Spirochete (Treponema pallidum) is the causative agent of syphilis. In the past, localization of the spirochete agent was achieved with silver stains such as Steiners and/or Warthin-Starry. Treponema pallidum can now be successfully localized with IHC techniques in FFPE tissue. The antibody consists of a rabbit purified IgG fraction and is highly specific for spirochete. Treponema palladium also cross-reacts with Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme disease).
