Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a hormone produced and secreted by corticotrophs in the adenohypophysis (anterior lobe) of the pituitary gland. Normal pituitary exhibits positive staining in a large population of cells (approximately 15% to 20%).

Aiding in the classification of pituitary adenomas and neoplasms with ectopic hormone production. For the initial technical component only immunohistochemical (IHC) stain performed, the appropriate bill-only test ID will be reflexed and charged (IHTOI).

Formalin fix (10 percent neutral buffered formalin) and paraffin embed specimen (cells must be prepared into a cellblock). Protect paraffin block and/or slides from excessive heat. Transport tissue block or 5 unstained (3- to 5-micron thick sections), positively charged slides in a tissue transport kit (ARUP supply # 47808).
