Anti-PLAP antibody immunoreacts with germ cell tumors and can discriminate between these and other neoplasms. Somatic neoplasms e.g. breast, gastrointestinal, prostatic and urinary cancers may also immunoreact with antibodies to PLAP. Anti-PLAP positivity in conjunction with keratin negativity favors seminoma over carcinoma. Germ cell tumors are usually keratin positive, but they regularly fail to stain with anti-EMA, whereas most carcinomas stain with anti-EMA. Anti-PLAP has been useful in the diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease. This antibody has shown cross-reaction with human intestinal alkaline phosphatase.

Napsin is a pepsin-like aspartic proteinase in the A1 clan of the AA clade of proteinases. There are two closely related napsins, napsin A (NAPSA) and napsin B (NAPSB). Napsin A is involved in processing propeptide pulmonary surfactant protein B (proSP-B) in the lung. In normal tissue, Napsin A is expressed in type II pneumocytes of the lung and proximal tubules of the kidney. Napsin A is a useful marker for lung adenocarcinoma.

Collagen Type IV is the major component of the basal lamina so antibodies to this molecule confirm its presence and reveal the morphological appearance of the structure. Normal tissue stains with this antibody in a fashion consistent with the sites of mesenchymal elements and epithelial basal laminae. Anti-Collagen IV can also be useful in the classification of soft tissue tumors; schwannomas, leiomyomas. Their well differentiated, malignant counterparts usually immunoreact with this antibody. The vascular nature of neoplasms, hemangiopericytoma, angiosarcoma and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma can be revealed by this antibody with greater reliability than non-specific stains (e.g. silver reticulum).

Smoothelin is a constituent of the smooth muscle cell cytoskeleton protein exclusively found in differentiated smooth muscle cells (SMC). Cells with SMC-like characteristics, such as myofibroblasts and myoepithelial cells, as well as skeletal and cardiac muscle do not contain smoothelin.1,2 To distinguish bladder muscularis mucosae (MM) from muscularis propria (MP) muscle bundles is crucial for accurate staging of bladder carcinoma. Strong smoothelin expression is nearly exclusively observed in muscularis propria. Therefore, the staining pattern of MP (strongly positive) and MM (negative or weakly positive) makes this technique an attractive diagnostic tool for the sometimes difficult task of staging bladder urothelial carcinoma, such as in transurethral resection specimens of urinary bladder tumors.3-5 Differentiating between smooth muscle tumors and other mesenchymal neoplasms of the GI tract can be challenging in small biopsies. Anti-smoothelin immunostaining can be helpful in differentiating benign (+) from malignant smooth muscle tumors (-), and other mimics(-).

Alpha-Methylacyl-CoA Racemase (also known as AMACR or P504s) is an essential enzyme in the ?oxidation of branched-chain fatty acids. AMACR over-expression has been demonstrated in several cancers including colorectal, prostate, ovarian, breast, bladder, lung, and renal cell carcinomas, lymphoma, and melanoma. Staining with the antibody to this enzyme has been useful in identifying prostate carcinoma and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, as well as atypical adenomatous hyperplasia in formalin-fixed paraffinized tissue in morphologically difficult cases.

Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is the glycolytic isoenzyme of the enolase gamma-gamma dimer specifically detected in neurons of neuroendocrine cells, and their corresponding tumors. In addition, NSE has been demonstrated immunohistochemically in the non-neoplastic cells of the pituitary, peptide secreting tissues, pineolocytes, neuroendocrine cells of the lung, thyroid, parafollicular cells, adrenal medulla, islets of Langerhans, Merkel cells of the skin, and melanocytes. Anti-NSE immunostaining is also positive in normal striated muscle, hepatocytes and, to a lesser extent, smooth muscle. Anti-NSE is a useful marker to identify peripheral nerves.5 When used for the identification of neuroendocrine differentiation, it is suggested that it be employed in a panel with more specific markers such as anti-synaptophysin, anti-chromogranin, and anti-neurofilament.

E-cadherin is an adhesion protein that is expressed in cells of epithelial lineage. Anti-E-cadherin stains positively in glandular epithelium as well as adenocarcinomas of the lung, gastrointestinal tract and ovary. Another application involves the differentiation of ductal (which is membrane staining) vs. lobular cancer of the breast (which is cytoplasmic staining). It has also been shown to be positive in some thyroid carcinomas. A combination of E-cadherin and p120 catenin helps distinguish ductal carcinoma of the breast from lobular carcinoma.

Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins which constitute the major component of the mucus layer that protects the gastric epithelium from chemical and mechanical injury. In humans, at least 14 mucin genes have been identified that code for the mucin proteins. Reportedly, mucin expression is associated with tumor type of gastric carcinomas, with MUC2 being associated with mucinous carcinomas. Anti- MUC2 reactivity is seen in goblet cells of the small intestine and colon, and it is useful in immunohistochemistry for identifying colonic, gastric and esophageal carcinomas.

The antibody labels a 50kDa, multiple myeloma oncogen-1 (MUM1) protein. MUM1 is encoded by the MUM1/IRF-4 gene, which is mapped to 6q23-25 and identified as a myeloma-associated oncogene. It is a member of the interferon regulatory factor family of transcription factors and plays an important role in the regulation of gene expression in response to signaling by interferon and other cytokines. MUM1 positive cells express the protein in the nucleus in a diffuse and microgranular pattern. However, some positivity is also observed in the cytoplasm of MUM1-expressing cells. In normal/reactive lymphoid tissues, such as lymph node, this antibody stains plasma cells, some B-cells in the light zone of germinal centers, and a subset of T-cells (T-cells in germinal centers and interfollicular areas). MUM1 expression has been described in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). MON 3318 can stain other Bcell lymphomas such as lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia, primary effusion lymphoma, DLBCL, Burkitt-like lymphoma, and classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

Adenovirus infection is associated with a broad spectrum of clinical disease in both children and adults. It has gained more attention as an important complication in patients who have undergone bone marrow or solid organ transplantation. The incidence of adenovirus infection in bone marrow transplant patients has been reported at 5-20%. Adenovirus infection on morphology should be differentially diagnosed from other virus infections, especially CMV infection. Anti-adenovirus can assist in this differential diagnosis by showing a round or crescent-shaped nuclear inclusion, generally within the surface epithelium and is exclusively intra-nuclear in location.

p120 catenin is encoded on chromosome 11q11. Alpha-catenin and beta-catenin bind to the intracellular domain of E-cadherin while p120 catenin binds E-cadherin at a juxta-membrane site. The complex stabilizes tight junctions. In the cell, p120 catenin localized to the E-cadherin/catenins cell adhesion complex, directly associates with cytoplasmic C-terminus of E-cadherin and may similarly interact with other cadherins. A deficiency of E-cadherin results in the intracytoplasmic accumulation of p120 catenin. Lobular carcinoma of the breast shows intracytoplasmic accumulation of p120 catenin while ductal carcinoma shows reduced membrane p120 catenin without cytoplasmic accumulation. In gastric and colonic carcinoma, strong cytoplasmic p120 catenin is associated with discohesive infiltrative morphology.

Fascin is a 55-kd actin bundling protein involved in cell migration. Fascin is up-regulated in many human carcinomas and numerous studies have correlated Fascin over-expression with increased metastatic potential. Fascin is highly sensitive for staining Reed-Sternberg cells making it an excellent marker for classic Hodgkins lymphoma. It is uniformly negative in lymphoid cells, plasma cells and myeloid cells. MON 3279 is positive in dendritic cells. This marker may be helpful in distinguishing between Hodgkins disease and non-Hodgkins lymphoma in difficult cases.

BCL2 is a protein associated with apoptosis regulation produced by the bcl-2 gene, located on chromosome 14q32.BCL2 is comprised of an alpha (239 amino acids) and beta chain. BCL2 (and thus BCL2 alpha chain) is found in mitochondrial and nuclear membranes and in the cytosol rather than the cell surface. In normal lymphoid tissue, BCL2 antibody reacts with small B-lymphocytes in the mantle zone and many cells within the T-cell areas. Anti-BCL2 has shown consistent negative reaction on reactive germinal center B-cells and positive staining of neoplastic follicles in follicular lymphoma. This antibody is valuable when distinguishing between reactive and neoplastic follicular proliferation in lymph node biopsies. This antibody may also be used in distinguishing between those follicular lymphomas that express BCL2 protein and the small number in which the neoplastic cells are BCL2 negative.

The antibody reacts with epithelioid malignancies of the ovary, papillary serous carcinoma of the cervix, adenocarcinoma of the endometrium, clear cell adenocarcinoma of the bladder, and epithelioid mesothelioma. The antigen is formalin resistant, permitting the detection of ovarian cancer by immunohistochemistry, although serum assays for this protein are widely used to monitor ovarian cancer. MON 3211 also reacts with antigens in seminal vesicle carcinoma.
