Frequently Asked Questions

This histochemical stain is used to detect myeloperoxidase enzyme activity in white blood cells, particularly useful in identifying myeloid cells.

It is primarily used to help differentiate types of leukemia, especially distinguishing myeloid leukemia from lymphoid leukemia.

Bone marrow or blood smears are stained in the lab and observed under a microscope for MPO enzyme activity.

Positive staining supports the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. Lack of MPO may point to lymphoid malignancies or specific subtypes of leukemia.

No specific preparation is needed, but the procedure used to obtain the sample (e.g., bone marrow aspiration) may require preparation.
