CD4 is a 55 kD glycoprotein expressed on the surface of T-helper/regulatory T-cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Anti-CD4 is used in the immunophenotyping of lymphoproliferative disorders.1 The majority of peripheral T-cell lymphomas are derived from the T-helper/regulatory cell subset so that most mature T-cell neoplasms are CD4+ CD8-.2 As with other T-cell antigens, CD4 may be aberrantly expressed in neoplastic T-cells so that the evaluation of such tumors requires the application of a panel of markers in order to identify tumors with CD4 aberrant expression.1-3

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.

SOX-11 which is a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family is a transcription factor normally expressed in the developing human central nervous system and plays a role in embryonic cell determination. Studies show that SOX-11 can be used as a marker for mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) accounts for 5% to 10% of mature B-cell neoplasms and is an aggressive disease genetically characterized by overexpression of cyclin D1 (CCND1), an important regulator of the G1/S phase of the cell cycle, due to the specific translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32).

The antibody abels 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 terminal centers, and a subset of T-cells (T-cells in germinal centers and interfollicular areas). Anti-MUM1 antibody can stain other B-cell 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.

Glucose transporter type I (GLUT1), a prototype member of GLUT super family, reacts with a 55 kD protein, is a membrane-associated erythrocyte glucose transport protein. It is a major glucose transporter in the mammalian blood-brain barrier, and also mediates glucose transport in endothelial cells of the vasculature, adipose tissue and cardiac muscle. GLUT1 is detectable in many human tissues including those of colon, lung, stomach, esophagus, and breast. GLUT1 is overexpressed in malignant cells and in a variety of tumors that include the breast, pancreas, cervix, endometrium, lung, mesothelium, colon, bladder, thyroid, bone, soft tissues, and oral cavity. Immuohistochemical detection of GLUT1 can discriminate between reactive mesothelium and malignant mesothelioma. Anti-GLUT1 with anti-Claudin1, and anti-EMA are perineurial markers in diagnosis of perineuriomas. Anti-GLUT1 is also useful in distinguishing benign endometrial hyperplasia from atypical endometrial hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma. GLUT1 expression has been associated with increased malignant potential, invasiveness, and a poor prognosis in general. Expression of GLUT1 is a late event in colorectal cancer and expression in a high proportion of cancer cells is associated with a high incidence of lymph node metastases.

Transcription factor E3 (TFE3) is a protein expressed in many cell types that are encoded by the TFE3 gene. This gene may be involved in chromosomal translocations that occur in some cancers.Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinomas (RCC) are a recently recognized subset of RCC, characterized by chromosome translocations involving the Xp11.2 break point and resulting in gene fusions involving the TFE3 transcription factor gene that maps to this locus.1 Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is an uncommon soft tissue sarcoma of uncertain differentiation. The hallmark of ASPS is a chromosomal rearrangement at 17q25 and Xp11.2 engendering an ASPSCR1-TFE3 fusion gene responsible for an aberrant transcription factor presumably enabling pathogenesis.1-5

Thrombomodulin is a transmembrane glycoprotein composed of 575 amino acids (molecular weight 75 kD) with natural anticoagulant properties. It is normally expressed by a restricted number of cells, such as endothelial and mesothelial cells. In addition, synovial lining and syncytiotrophoblasts of human placenta also express thrombomodulin. Antithrombomodulin has demonstrated positivity in benign vascular tumors such as hemangioma and most malignant vascular tumors (Kaposis sarcoma and epitheliod hemangioendothelioma). Hence, anti-thrombomodulin serves as a sensitive marker for lymphatic endothelial cells and their tumors. There has also been recent interest in the use of antithrombomodulin as an immunohiostochemical marker for mesothelial cells and malignant mesotheliomas. Anti-thrombomodulin is immunoexpressed in a variety of other tumors including urothelial cell carcinomas

The antibody reacts with neuroendocrine cells of human adrenal medulla, carotid body, skin, pituitary, thyroid, lung, pancreas, and gastrointestinal mucosa. This antibody identifies normal neuroendocrine cells and neuroendocrine neoplasms. Diffuse, finely granular, cytoplasmic staining is observed, which probably correlates with the distribution of the antigen within neurosecretory vesicles. The expression of synaptophysin is independent of the presence of NSE or other neuroendocrine markers. Antisynaptophysin is an independent, broad-range marker of neural and neuroendocrine differentiation.

Oct-2 is a transcription factor of the POU homeo-domain family that binds to the Ig gene octamer sites, regulating B-cell-specific genes. These are involved in proliferation and differentiation and, despite the scarce evidence for Oct-2 expression in T cells, it has been shown that this factor participates in transcriptional regulation during T-cell activation. Oct-2 activity is dependent on phosphorylation and alternatitive splicing.Various lymphomas are also positive for this marker including the following: Bchronic lymphocytic leukemia, mantle cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, plasmacytoma, Burkitt lymphoma, diffuse large cell lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, T-cell rich B-cell lymphoma, nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, and classic Hodgkin lymphoma.

CD99, as detected with a variety of antibodies, is expressed by virtually almost all Ewings sarcoma and primitive peripheral neuroectodermal tumors (ES/PNET) and demonstrates strong and diffuse membranous staining. Other tumors that may show CD99 expression include neuroendocrine carcinomas, mesenchymal chondrosarcomas, solitary fibrous tumors, synovial sarcomas, vascular tumors, small round blue cell tumors, lymphoblastic lymphoma, acute myeloid leukemia, and myeloid sarcoma.5 However, strong and diffuse membranous reactivity for CD99 favors ES/PNET over the other diagnostic considerations. The other CD99+ tumors usually show cytoplasmic and more heterogeneous staining. Therefore, when making a final diagnostic interpretation, CD99 must be considered in a panel with other antibodies.

CD71, also known as transferrin receptor, is a membrane glycoprotein that mediates the uptake of iron from transferrin for hemoglobin synthesis in erythroid cells. Early erythroid precursors and erythroblasts contain the highest mass of transferrin receptors, and expression is lost as these cells cease hemoglobin synthesis and mature into erythrocytes. Therefore, anti-CD71 is a useful marker for highlighting erythroid precursors in bone marrow specimens. Increased CD71 expression is also associated with active cell growth including neoplastic tumor growth and may be seen in various carcinomas such as thyroid carcinomas, lung carcinomas, breast carcinomas, hepatocellular carcinomas and colorectal carcinomas.

Follicular dendritic cells and some activated B-cells within germinal centers express CD23 in high density and mantle zone B-cells are stained weakly. The majority of chronic lymphocytic leukemias/small lymphocytic lymphomas are CD23 positive, whereas mantle cell lymphomas are generally negative, so this marker is useful when applied with other markers to separate the small cell lymphomas. Precursor B and T lymphomas, myeloid neoplasms, and mature T-cell lymphomas are CD23 negative and other small cell lymphomas are occasionally positive. CD23 is also positive on activated mature B-cells expressing IgM or IgD, monocytes/ macrophages, follicular dendritic cells, T-cell subsets, eosinophils, Langerhans cells and small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia (SLL/CLL).

CD21 (also known as complement receptor 2 (CR2), C3d receptor, or EBV receptor) is a 140 kDa membrane protein on B-lymphocytes to which the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) binds during infection of these cells. The antigen is absent on T-lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes. MON 3028 is useful in the identification of follicular dendritic cell matrix found in normal lymph node and tonsillar tissue. This antibody also labels follicular dendritic cell sarcomas. Anti-CD21 is valuable in differentiating follicular lymphoma with marginal zone differentiation from marginal zone lymphoma with follicular involvement. It also plays a role in distinguishing among nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, lymphocyte-rich classic Hodgkin lymphoma, and T-cell/histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma in combination with other B-cell and T-cell markers. Anti-CD21 is also useful in identifying abnormal follicular dendritic cell pattern in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and follicular T-cell lymphoma.

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(-).

T-cell leukemia/lymphoma protein 1 (TCL1, TCL1A, p14TCL1) is a 14 kDa product of the TCL1 gene that is involved in T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL). TCL1 protein is normally found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of lymphoid lineage cells during early embryogenesis. TCL1 is expressed in differentiated Bcells under both reactive and neoplastic conditions, antigen committed B-cells, and in germinal center B-cells. The Anti-TCL1 immunohistochemical reactivity is reportedly useful identifying B-cell lymphomas including follicular lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma.

S100P is a member of the S100 family of proteins. The family is expressed in a wide range of cells and is thought to play a role in cell cycle progression and in differentiation. Anti-S100P with nuclear or nuclear/cytoplasmic immunoreactivity can be seen in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas, while it is rarely detectable in benign pancreatic ducts. It may also help to distinguish urothelial carcinomas from other genitourinary neoplasms such as prostate carcinoma

CD33, also known as gp67 or SIGLEC-3, is a 67 kDa glycosylated transmembrane protein that is a member of the sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (siglec) family. Although the precise physiological function of CD33 is unknown, it may mediate cell to cell adhesion and modulate inflammatory and immune response. In normal tissue, anti-CD33 labels myeloid cells (especially myeloid precursors), liver Kupffer cells, lung alveolar macrophages, and placental syncytiotrophoblasts. In neoplastic tissue, anti-CD33 is useful for the identification of acute myeloid leukemia.

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.

Human germinal center associated lymphoma (HGAL) protein is specifically expressed in the cytoplasm of germinal center B-cells, but is absent in mantle and marginal zone B-cells and in the interfollicular and paracortical regions in normal tonsils and lymph nodes. Its high degree of specificity for germinal center B-cells makes anti-HGAL an ideal marker for the detection of germinal center-derived B-cell lymphomas. Anti-HGAL has the highest overall sensitivity of detecting follicular lymphoma (FL) and in detecting the interfollicular and diffuse components of FL compared with antibodies against bcl2, LMO2, CD10, and bcl6. The addition of anti-HGAL to the immunohistologic panel is beneficial in the work-up of nodal and extranodal B-cell lymphomas, and the efficacy of anti-HGAL in detecting the follicular, interfollicular, and diffuse components of FL is of particular value in the setting of variant immunoarchitectural patterns

Phosphohistone H3 (PHH3) is a core histone protein, which together with other histones, forms the major protein constituents of the chromatin in eukaryotic cells. In mammalian cells, phosphohistone H3 is negligible during interphase but reaches a maximum for chromatin condensation during mitosis. Immunohistochemical studies showed anti-PHH3 specifically detected the core protein histone H3 only when phosphorylated at serine 10 or serine 28. Studies have also revealed no phosphorylation on the histone H3 during apoptosis. PHH3 can serve as a mitotic marker to separate mitotic figures from apoptotic bodies and karyorrhectic debris, which may be a very useful tool in diagnosis of tumor grades, especially in CNS, skin, gyn., soft tissue, and GIST.

T-bet, a T-box transcription factor, is expressed in CD4+ T-lymphocytes committed to T-helper (Th)1 Tcell development from naïve T-helper precursor cells (Thp) and redirects Th2 T-cells to Th1 development. Anti-T-bet is a marker of mature T-cells and is expressed at very low levels in Thp cells and is absent in precursor T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma cells. Scattered small lymphocytes in the interfollicular T-cell zone of reactive lymphoid tissue, including tonsil, lymph node, and spleen exhibited nuclear staining for anti-T-bet, with no anti-T-bet staining observed in germinal centers or mantle or marginal zones. T-bet is expressed in a significant subset of B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders, particularly at an early stage of B-cell development (precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoblastic lymphoma), and B-cell neoplasms derived from mature B-cells, including CLL/SLL, marginal zone lymphoma, and hairy cell leukemia.

IgG4-related sclerosing disease has been recognized as a systemic disease entity characterized by an elevated serum IgG4 level, sclerosing fibrosis, and diffuse lymphoplasmacytic infiltration with the presence of many IgG4-positive plasma cells. Clinical manifestations are apparent in the pancreas, bile duct, gall bladder, lacrimal gland, salivary gland, retroperitoneum, kidney, lung, breast, thyroid, and prostate. Immunohistochemical analyses in the case of IgG4-related sclerosing disease not only exhibit significantly more than normal IgG4-positive plasma cells in affected tissues but also significantly higher IgG4/IgG ratios (typically > 30%).

CD56, also known as neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), is a calcium-independent homophilic binding protein that belongs to a group of cell adhesion molecules including cadherins, selectins, and integrins. CD56 is involved in cellcell adhesion of neural cells during embryogenesis and is expressed on most neuroectodermally derived tissues.1-3 In normal tissue, anti-CD56 labels neurons, glia, schwann cells, NK (natural killer) cells, and a subset of T-cells.3 CD56 expression can be seen in most NK cell neoplasms, certain subtypes of T-cell lymphoma and in some plasma cell neoplasms.

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.

Complement component C3 plays a central role in the activation of complement system. Its activation is required for both classical and alternative complement activation pathways. C3d deposition in the renal transplant PTCs (peritubular capillaries) is indicative of AR (acute rejection) with subsequent high probability of graft loss. Anti-C3d, combined with anti-C4d, can be utilized as a tool for diagnosis of AR and warrant prompt and aggressive anti-rejection treatment. In another study, Pfaltz et al. have shown that anti-C3d labeled the epidermal basement membrane in 97% (31/32) cases of bullous pemphigoid (BP), with none of the normal controls demonstrating such findings. In the same study 27% (3/11) cases of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) demonstrated intercellular C3d deposition. Therefore, C3d immunohistochemistry is a helpful adjunct in the diagnosis of BP (and perhaps PV), especially in the cases in which only formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue is available for analysis.

Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV), a member of the human herpes virus family, causes two distinct clinical manifestations: chickenpox and shingles. Primary VZV infection results in chickenpox (varicella), which may rarely result in complications including encephalitis or pneumonia. Even when clinical symptoms of chickenpox have resolved, VZV remains dormant in the nervous system of the infected person (virus latency), in the trigeminal and dorsal root ganglia. In about 10-20% of cases, VZV reactivates later in life producing a disease known as herpes zoster or shingles. Serious complications of shingles include postherpetic neuralgia, zoster multiplex, myelitis, herpes ophthalmicus, or zoster sine herpete. VZV is closely related to the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Affected skin shares so many histological similarities that distinguishing between them may be difficult. Immunohistochemistry with anti-VZV appears quite sensitive and specific on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues in the distinction between HSV and VZV.

Hemoglobin alpha chain belongs to the globin family and is involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues. Hemoglobin A is comprised of two alpha chains and two beta chains. Immunohistochemical localization of hemoglobin is excellent as an erythroid marker for the detection of immature, dysplastic, and megaloblastic erythroid cells in myeloproliferative disorders, such as erythroleukemia. In contrast, myeloid cells, lymphoid cells, plasma cells, histiocytes, and megakaryocytes do not stain with anti-hemoglobin A.

PU.1 is a transcription factor that has been shown to be important for normal B-cell development. PU.1 belongs to the ETS family of transcription factors. It is expressed in the myeloid lineage and in immature as well as mature B-lymphocytes, with the exception of plasma cells. PU.1 is essential during early B-cell differentiation. The absence of PU.1 results in total block of B-cell development at the prepro stage. Very little is known about PU.1 function in later stages of B-cell development. PU.1 does not seem to play a role in the end-stage of B-cell development and is not expressed in plasma cells. PU.1 exerts an important role in the regulation of the expression of crucial B-cell proteins, such as immunoglobulin (Ig) genes, and CD20 and its putative binding sites were also identified in the promoters of CD79, CD10, and CD22. PU.1 binds to the 3 enhancer region of both the Ig kappa and lambda light chain genes and it also regulates the immunoglobulin heavy chain genes through the intron enhancer region.

The parathyroid glands function within the endocrine system to promote blood calcium homeostasis through controlled release of parathyroid hormone (PTH). This process involves the synthesis and secretion of PTH by activated parathyroid chief cells during conditions of hypocalcemia. With the anatomical proximity to the thyroid and capacity of associated neoplasms of the parathyroid to mimic thyroid tumors, challenges can arise in distinguishing between these types of abnormalities. In cases where there is uncertainty about a tumor being of parathyroid origin, immunohistochemical evaluation using anti-PTH can be of value.

p21 is one of the inhibitors of the phosphorylation of the cyclin-cdk complex. p21, which is an inhibitor of G1 cdks, suppresses the cell cycle and inhibits DNA synthesis. Although p21 is induced by p53 and inhibits cdk (cyclin-dependent kinase) activity, there was virtually no correlation between the expression of p21 and that of p53; this finding was consistent with two reports, though another reported an inverse correlation between the expression of p21 and that of p53. p53independent expression of p21 might account for the discrepancy between the expression of p53 and that of p21. It is expressed in normal human tissue and a wide array of tumors.

CDX-2 is a caudal-related homeobox transcription factor whose expression in the adult is normally present in the gastrointestinal (GI) epithelium. It is implicated in the development and maintenance of the intestinal mucosa. This protein is expressed immunohistochemically in the nuclei of normal GI epithelium. CDX-2 protein expression has been seen in GI carcinomas. Anti-CDX-2 has been useful to establish GI origin of metastatic adenocarcinomas and carcinoids and is especially useful to distinguish metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma from lung adenocarcinoma. However, mucinous carcinomas of the ovary also stain positively with this antibody, which limits the usefulness of this marker in the distinction of metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma versus mucinous carcinoma of the ovary.

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.

C4d is a stable split product remnant of classical complement activation which becomes covalently bound to endothelium and basement membrane, after induction of the classical antibody-induced pathway. As an established marker of antibody-mediated acute renal allograft rejection and its proclivity for endothelium, this component can be detected in peritubular capillaries in both chronic renal allograft rejection as well as hyperacute rejection, acute vascular rejection, acute cellular rejection, and borderline rejection. It has been shown to be a significant predictor of transplant kidney graft survival and is an aid in treating acute rejection.

SV40, Simian Virus 40 is a polyomavirus that is found in both monkeys and humans. Like other polyomaviruses, SV40 is a DNA virus that has the potential to cause tumors. SV40 is believed to suppress the transcriptional properties of tumor-suppressing p53 in humans through the SV40 large T-antigen and SV40 small T-antigen. It is generally assumed that large T-antigen is the major protein involved in neoplastic processes and the large T-antigen predominantly exerts its effect through deregulation of tumor suppressor p53, which is responsible for initiating regulated cell death (apoptosis), or cell cycle arrest when a cell is damaged. A mutated p53 gene may contribute to uncontrolled cellular proliferation, leading to a tumor.

Annexin A1, also known as lipocortin I, is a protein that is encoded by the ANXA1 gene in humans. Annexin A1 is a useful marker for identifying hairy cell leukemia cells. ANXA1 is strongly expressed on the cell membrane and occasionally in the cytoplasm of tumor cells in 97% of samples from patients with hairy cell leukemia, it is therefore a useful marker for identifying hairy cell leukemia cells. By contrast, B-cell lymphomas other than hairy cell leukemia, including typical splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes and patients with variant hairy cell leukemiaas defined by current morphologic, phenotypic, and clinical criteriaare ANXA1-negative. Additionally, aberrant expression of Annexin A1 has been reported in certain types of breast and gastric carcinomas.

Villin is an actin-binding glycoprotein that serves an important role in the maintenance of the microvilli brush border in gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal epithelium and its associated tumors. Recent immunohistochemical studies with villin have shown that villin is not only expressed in carcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract, but also in renal cell carcinomas, pancreatic carcinomas, endometrial carcinomas, as well as carcinomas of the ovary and lungs. In addition, positive villin expression may be seen in neuroendocrine/carcinoid tumors of the GI tract and lungs.

Uroplakins (UPs) are a family of transmembrane proteins (UPs Ia, Ib, II and III) that are specific differentiation products of urothelial cells. In non-neoplastic mammalian urothelium, UPs are expressed in the luminal surface plasmalemma of superficial (umbrella) cells, forming complexes of 16nm crystalline particles. UPIII is specific for tumors of urothelial origin and, when used in combination with other markers, can aid in the diagnosis of primary and metastatic tumors.

Anti-TTF-1 (Thyroid Transcription Factor 1) is useful in differentiating primary adenocarcinoma of the lung from metastatic carcinomas originating in the organs rather than thyroid, germ cell tumors, and malignant mesothelioma. It can also be used to differentiate small cell lung carcinoma from lymphoid infiltrates. TTF-1 labeling is also seen in thyroid and thyroid-derived tumors. TTF-1 immunostaining is useful in the differentiation between pulmonary and nonpulmonary origin of adenocarcinomas in malignant effusions. TTF-1 staining is very reliable in discerning whether a brain metastasis has arisen from a pulmonary or nonpulmonary site, particularly when dealing with adenocarcinomas and largecell carcinomas.

Toxoplasma gondii is a spindle-to-oval-shaped protozoan which presents as an infection in humans of various sorts. The cyst (30 um) and trophozoite (7 um) stages can be identified in humans is such cases. This intracellular parasite is transmitted via raw/undercooked meat, contaminated soil, or by direct contact with an infected host. Infection in humans is usually associated with a variable degree of immunosuppression such as in pregnancy or immunosuppression due to various drugs.

Anti-TdT antibody labels normal cortical thymocytes and primitive lymphocytes. Anti-TdT antibody detects an enzyme found in the nucleus of normal hematopoietic cells, normal cortical thymocytes and in the cytoplasm of megakaryocytes of the bone marrow. TdT expression is seen in over 90% of acute lymphoblastic lymphoma/ leukemia cases with the exception of pre-B-Cell ALL. TdT expression is not seen in normal mature T-or B-lymphocytes. Anti-TdT is positive for approximately one third of all cases of chronic myeloid leukemia, making it a good indicator of better response to chemotherapy.

Anti-Synaptophysin reacts with neuroendocrine cells of human adrenal medulla, carotid body, skin, pituitary, thyroid, lung, pancreas and gastrointestinal mucosa. Positive staining is seen in neurons of the brain, spinal cord, retina, and Paneths cells in the gastrointestinal tract and gastric parietal cells. This antibody identifies normal neuroendocrine cells and neuroendocrine neoplasms. Diffuse, finely granular cytoplasmic staining is observed, which probably correlates with the distribution of the antigen within neurosecretory vesicles. The expression of synaptophysin is independent of the presence of NSE or other neuroendocrine markers. Anti-Synaptophysin is an independent broadrange marker of neural and neuroendocrine differentiation.

Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a 33 kDa protein primarily produced by the prostatic epithelium and the epithelial lining of the periurethral glands. PSA is strongly expressed in both normal and neoplastic prostatic tissue. Although PSA can be considered prostate-specific, PSA and/or PSA gene expression has been detected at low levels in some extra-prostatic tissues such as normal breast tissue, breast tumors, endometrium, adrenal neoplasms and renal cell carcinomas. Anti-PSA is most useful in determining the prostatic origin of carcinomas in non-prostate tissues (metastatic disease) using IHC techniques. This product is best used in conjunction with a panel of antibodies as, up to 27% of prostate carcinoma cases (predominantly poorly differentiated carcinomas) can be negative for this marker.

The antibody reacts with progesterone receptor forms alpha and beta. This antibody stains nuclei in breast, ovarian and endometrial epithelia, as well as myometrial nuclei. Since the early 1990s the immunohistochemical (IHC) assay determination of progesterone receptor status has replaced the dextran-coated charcoal method as a prognostic indicator in breast carcinoma. IHC has shown to be superior in prognostic significance when using any one of several available methods of quantitation using this technique.

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.

It is found in most cases of mature and precursor B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas/leukemias. In approximately 97% of cases of classic Hodgkin lymphoma, Reed-Sternberg cells express PAX-5.4 PAX-5 is not detected in multiple myeloma and solitary plasmacytoma, making it useful for such differentiation.1,3 Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas do express PAX-5, save for those with terminal B-cell differentiation. T-cell neoplasms do not stain with anti-PAX-5. There is a strong association with CD20 expression.

Nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR), also known as p75NTR, is a 75-kDa glycoprotein member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family essential for embryonic development of the peripheral nervous system. In normal tissue, NGFR is expressed in neural crest derived cells, lymphoid follicular dendritic cells seen in lymph nodes and tonsils, and myoepithelial cells of the breast, prostate, and salivary gland as well as basal epithelium of the respiratory system. NGFR has been shown to be a reliable adjunct marker for melanoma, specifically desmoplastic and spindle cell variants Anti-NGFR labels myoepithelial cells of the breast and may aid in the differentiation between benign conditions, pre-invasive neoplastic lesions and invasive malignancies of the breast.

Immunostaining with anti-myoglobin provides a specific, sensitive, and practical procedure for the identification of tumors of muscle origin. Since myoglobin is found exclusively in skeletal and cardiac muscle and is not present in any other cells of the human body, it may be used to distinguish rhabdomyosarcoma from other soft tissue tumors.

Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins which constitute the major component of the mucus layer that protects the gastric epithelium from chemical and mechanical aggressions. In humans, at least 14 mucin genes have been identified that code for the mucin proteins. MUC6 is a secretory mucin that is part of a family of at least 14 high molecular weight glycoproteins made by many epithelial tissues. MUC6 is preferentially expressed in non-neoplastic gastric tissue, specifically in the pyloric glands. During neoplastic transformation, mucin expression may be altered within these tissues leading to particular patterns of expression.

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.

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. Mucin genes are expressed in a regulated cell- and tissue-specific manner. The stomach provides a good example of such differential expression of mucin genes. MUC1 is detected in mucous cells of the surface epithelium and neck region of the gastric antrum, as well as in pyloric glands and oxyntic glands of the body region. The heterogeneous pattern of mucin expression, including the expression of the intestinal mucin MUC2, may provide new insights into the differentiation pathways of gastric carcinoma.

Anti-Lysozyme stains myeloid cells, histiocytes, granulocytes, macrophages, and monocytes in human tonsil, colon and skin. It is an important marker that may demonstrate the myeloid or monocytic nature of acute leukemia. The restrictive nature of anti-lysozyme antibody staining suggests that lysozyme may be synthesized predominantly in reactive histiocytes rather than in resting, unstimulated phagocytes. Anti-lysozyme may aid in the identification of histiocytic neoplasias, large lymphocytes and classifying lymphoproliferative disorders.

The antibody detects surface immunoglobulin on normal and neoplastic B-cells. Anti-lambda staining is seen in B-cell follicles of human lymphoid tissue. When dealing with B-cell neoplasms, the determination of light chain ratios remains helpful. Most B-cell lymphomas express either kappa or lambda light chains, whereas reactive proliferations display a mixture of kappa and lambda positive cells. If only a single light chain type is detected, a lymphoproliferative disorder is very likely.

The antibody detects surface immunoglobulin on normal and neoplastic B-cells. In paraffin-embedded tissue, anti-kappa exhibits strong staining of kappa-positive plasma cells and cells that have absorbed exogenous immunoglobulins. When dealing with B-cell neoplasms, the determination of light chain ratios remains the centerpiece. Most B-cell lymphomas express either kappa or lambda light chains, whereas reactive proliferations display a mixture of kappa and lambda positive cells. If only a single light chain type is detected, a lymphoproliferative disorder exists. Monoclonality is determined by a kappa-lambda ratio of greater than or equal to 3:1 or a lambda-kappa ratio greater than 2:1.

The INI-1 gene, which encodes a functionally uncharacterized protein component of the hSWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, is often mutated or deleted in malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT). Two isoforms of INI-1 that differ by the variable inclusion of amino acids are potentially produced by differential RNA splicing. The morphology of MRTs can present challenges in differential diagnosis. The overall survival of MRTs relative to its potential mimics [medulloblastoma, supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors (sPNETs)] is quite low, and thus differentiation from these other tumors is desirable. Lack of nuclear labeling by anti-INI-1 is characteristic of MRT. The majority of medulloblastomas and sPNETs are labeled by anti-INI-1. MRTs also originate from the kidney and soft tissues.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) plays a critical role in mucosal immunity. It is present in the mucosal secretions such as tears, saliva, colostrum, intestinal juice, vaginal fluid, and secretions from the prostate and respiratory epithelium, and represents a key first line of defense against invasion by inhaled and ingested pathogens at the vulnerable mucosal surfaces. It is also found in small amounts in blood. Because it is resistant to degradation by enzymes, secretory IgA can survive in harsh environments such as the digestive and respiratory tracts, to provide protection against microbes that multiply in body secretions. It is useful when identifying multiple myeloma.

Helicobacter pylori is strongly associated with inflammation of the stomach and is also implicated in the development of gastric malignancy, peptic ulcers, and gastric lymphomas in humans. Helicobacter pylori can exist in a number of locations: in the mucus, attached to epithelial cells, or inside of vacuoles in epithelial cells, where it produces adhesions that bind to membrane-associated lipids and carbohydrates in or on epithelial cells. The most reliable method for detecting H. pylori infection is a biopsy during endoscopy histologic examination and detection by immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemical staining of H. pylori on the surface of gastric mucosa is a valuable tool for identification of H. pylori infections.

hCG is a protein secreted in large quantities by normal trophoblasts; the antibody detects cells and tumors of trophoblastic origin such as Choriocarcinoma. Large Cell Carcinoma and Adenocarcinoma of Lung demonstrate hCG positivity in 90% and 60% of cases respectively. 20% of Squamous Cell Lung Carcinomas are positive for hCG. hCG expression by nontrophoblastic tumors may indicate aggressive behavior since it has been observed that hCG may play a role in the host response to a given tumor.

Glycophorins A and B are major sialoglycoproteins expressed across the surface of the human erythrocyte membrane and contain the antigenic determinants that define the MNS blood group system.1 The high sialic acid content of glycophorin A contributes to the generation of a net negative surface charge across erythrocyte membranes that minimizes interactions between red blood cells and prevents their aggregation. Anti-glycophorin A has utility in identifying cells of the erythroid lineage.

Anti-Glucagon antibody detects glucagon-secreting cells and tumors such as glucagonomas. Studies show that approximately 80% of glucagonomas are malignant and these patients have a syndrome often initially recognized by dermatologists. Symptoms include necrolytic migratory erythema as well as diabetes, anemia, stomatitis, weight loss, frequent venous thromboses, and in some instances, diarrhea and psychiatric disturbances. The diagnosis may be readily confirmed by the demonstration of elevated plasma glucagon concentration.

GCDFP-15 is a 15 kD glycoprotein which is localized in the apocrine metaplastic epithelium lining breast cysts and in apocrine glands in the axilla, vulva, eyelid, ear canal, and in salivary glands. GCDFP-15 positivity is seen in breast carcinomas. On the other hand, colorectal carcinomas, lung carcinoma, mesotheliomas rarely stain with this antibody. Because of its specificity for breast carcinoma, this antibody is often helpful in distinguishing metastasis of unknown primary.

Galectin-3 is a 30-kD protein, a member of the beta-galactosidase-binding lectin family. Galectin-3 is associated with cell growth, adhesion, inflammation, mRNA processing, and apoptosis. Reportedly, Galectin-3 aberrant expression is related to malignant transformation and metastasis in carcinomas of the breast, colon and thyroid. Galectin-3 reactivity can be seen in the nucleus of neutrophils, vascular endothelium, carcinomas of the colon, breast, and thyroid. Galectin-3 may be useful in the differentiation of benign and malignant thyroid neoplasms. Galectin-3 may also be useful in the identification of certain liver disorders.

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.

Anti-Factor VIII-Related Antigen antibody reacts with endothelial cells and neoplastic blood cells. This antibody has helped to establish the endothelial nature of some lesions of disputed histogenesis, e.g. Kaposis sarcoma and cardiac myxoma. Not all endothelial cells synthesize (or store) this molecule; therefore, it should not be surprising that not all tumors of endothelial differentiation (benign or malignant) react with this antigen.

The antibody s a useful marker for staining many carcinomas. It stains normal and neoplastic cells from various tissues, including mammary epithelium, sweat glands and colorectal carcinoma. Hepatocellular carcinoma, adrenal carcinoma and embryonal carcinomas are consistently EMA negative, so keratin positivity with negative EMA favors one of these tumors. EMA is frequently positive in meningioma, which can be useful when distinguishing it from other intracranial neoplasms such as schwannomas.

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.

Anti-desmin detects a protein that is expressed by cells of normal smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscles. It has been suggested that desmin is primarily located at or near the periphery of Z lines in striated muscle fibrils. In smooth muscle, desmin interconnects cytoplasmic dense bodies with membrane bound dense plaques. Anti-desmin reacts with leiomyomas, leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyomas, rhabdomyosarcoma, and perivascular cells of glomus tumors of the skin.This antibody is used to demonstrate the myogenic components/derivation of tumors. Desmin can also be present in myofibroblasts and be focally positive in desmoid fibromatosis.

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ?-herpesvirus (human herpesvirus 5) that causes widespread persistent infection. CMV continues to be an important opportunistic pathogen in immunocompromised patients. It is estimated that 30% of transplant recipients experience CMV disease. The range of organ involvement in post-transplant CMV disease is wide; hepatitis occurs in 40% of liver transplant recipients, and pneumonitis is more frequently seen in heart and heart-lung transplant patients. Other organs that are commonly affected are the gastrointestinal tract and the peripheral and central nervous systems. Histologic diagnosis of CMV in fixed tissues usually rests on identifying characteristic cytopathic effects including intranuclear inclusions, cytoplasmic inclusions, or both, especially in the endothelial cells. However, histologic examination lacks sensitivity, and in some cases atypical cytopathic features can be confused with reactive or degenerative changes.

The antibody is the broad-spectrum keratin antibody cocktail. It is composed of mouse monoclonal antibody AE1 that recognizes the acidic type I keratins 10, 14, 15, 16, 19, and AE3 that reacts with the basic type II keratins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Both clones were generated using epidermal keratin as immunogen. This antibody detects carcinomas of different organ origin, but is most frequently negative in hepatocellular carcinoma, chromophobe RCC, adrenol cortical carcinoma, some clear cell renal cell carcinomas, and renal oncocytoma. This antibody cocktail can cross-react with other intermediate filaments, such as glial fibrillary acidic protein, giving a false-positive staining in glial tumors.

Anti-cytokeratin, high molecular weight (AE3) is capable of recognizing all basic keratins; therefore, it is a broadly reactive antibody staining most epithelia and their neoplasms. Members of the acidic and basic subfamilies are found together in pairs. Since each epithelium contains at least one acidic and one basic keratin, this antibody is used to observe the distribution of keratin-containing cells in normal epithelia and to identify neoplasms derived from such epithelium.

The antibody is an antibody to high molecular weight cytokeratin that reacts with all squamous and ductal epithelium and stains carcinomas. This antibody recognizes cytokeratins 1,5,10, and 14 that are found in complex epithelia. Anti-Cytokeratin, 34betaE12 shows no reactivity with hepatocytes, pancreatic acinar cells, proximal renal tubules, or endometrial glands; there has been no reactivity with cells derived from simple epithelia. Mesenchymal tumors, lymphomas, melanomas, and neural tumors are unreactive with this antibody with some exceptions. Anti-Cytokeratin, 34betaE12 does label myoepithelial cells and has been shown to be useful in distinguishing prostatic adenocarcinoma from hyperplasia of the prostate. This antibody has also been useful in separating benign from malignant intraductal breast proliferations.

Cytokeratin 20 is a 46-kDa intermediate filament protein which reacts primarily with gastric and intestinal epithelium, urothelium, and Merkel cells.1-4 Anti-Cytokeratin 20 is useful in the identification of specific types of these epithelial cells under normal hyperplastic and neoplastic conditions.3 Cytokeratin 20 has been detected in adenocarcinomas of the colon, stomach and biliary tract.5-7 Merkel cell carcinomas have shown reactivity. In contrast, carcinomas of the breast are generally non-reactive.

Cytokeratin 14 is a member of the Type I family of cytokeratins and is generally expressed in the basal cell layer of squamous epithelium. The cytokeratin 14 protein forms a heterotetramer with homodimers of cytokeratin 5 to contribute to the structural integrity of the intracellular cytoskeletal network. Anticytokeratin 14 has immunohistochemical utility as an aid in distinguishing squamous cell carcinomas from other tumors of epithelial origin.

Cytokeratins 8 &18 (CK 8 & 18) are expressed in most simple epithelia (e.g. thyroid, breast, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory tract). Anti-CK 8 & 18 have been reported to stain most adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas, but not some well-differentiated squamous cell carcinomas. Cytokeratin 8 & 18 have been reported to be useful markers for identifying Paget cells, colorectal carcinoma metastases,5 and gastric cancer micro metastases.

Cytokeratin 8, a member of the Type II family of cytokeratins, is typically expressed in simple epithelium. The dimerization of cytokeratin 8 with cytokeratin 18 (labeled by 35betaH11) in the cytoplasm of simple epithelial cells allows for the formation of an intermediate filament cytoskeletal framework. This structure plays a role in the maintenance of cellular structural integrity and also functions in promoting signal transduction and cellular differentiation processes. Additionally, the presence of cytokeratin 8 has been detected in neoplastic epithelia, including glandular epithelium that can be found in prostate carcinoma. Positive immunoreactivity with anti-cytokeratin 8 is a useful indicator for the identification of normal and neoplastic epithelial tissues.

Anti-cytokeratin 7 reacts with proteins that are found in most ductal, glandular, transitional, and biliary duct epithelial cells. Cytokeratin 7 (CK7) labeling can help distinguish between lung,breast carcinomas, and urothelial carcinomas that typically stain positive, and colon and prostate carcinomas that typically lack CK7 expression.CK 7 is a common marker of primary lung adenocarcinomas (almost all cases) with a lower specificity since it is also observed in other primary lung carcinomas and non-pulmonary carcinomas.1 Anti-cytokeratin 7 has also been useful in the differential diagnosis of ovarian neoplasms.This antibody does not recognize intermediate filament proteins.

Anti-CK 5/6 positivity is seen in nearly 100% of malignant mesotheliomas and in nearly 0% of lung adenocarcinomas. Anti-CK 5/6 positivity can be seen in undifferentiated large cell carcinoma as well as squamous carcinoma, and has been useful in recognizing spindle cell squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Less than 10% of carcinomas of the breast, colon, and prostate stain positively for this marker. Anti-CK 5/6 has also been used successfully as a myoepithelial cell marker in the prostate and breast to determine malignancy.

Cytokeratin 5 is an intermediate filament protein of 58 kD molecular weight within the cytokeratin family. It is a type II (basic) cytokeratin. Antibodies to this protein identify basal cells of squamous and glandular epithelia, myoepithelia, and mesothelium. Anti-cytokeratin 5 has been reported useful in the differential diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma in the pleura versus epithelioid mesothelioma. Epithelioid mesotheliomas are strongly positive in almost all cases, but a minority of pulmonary adenocarcinomas will show focal immunoreactivity. Almost all squamous cell carcinomas, half of transitional carcinomas, and many undifferentiated large cell carcinomas immunostain with anti-CK 5. Anti-CK 5, along with antip63, affords a high sensitivity and specificity for squamous differentiation. Myoepithelial cells of the breast, glandular epithelia, and basal cells of the prostate are labeled with anti-CK. This antibody, along with anti-CK 14, has found application in identifying basal-like breast carcinoma.

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).

Immunohistochemical methods have localized chromogranin in a wide variety of endocrine tissues including the pituitary, pancreas, thyroid, and parathyroid. Neuroendocrine cells exhibit a fine granular immunoreactivity to chromogranin. It is generally accepted that the co-expression of certain keratins and chromogranin mean neuroendocrine lineage. The presence of strong chromogranin staining and absence of keratin staining should raise the possibility of paraganglioma. The co-expression of chromogranin and NSE is typical of neuroendocrine neoplasms.

Anti-CEA specifies a group of proteins in the Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) family of proteins which are present in the epithelia of various types and tumors (both benign and malignant) derived from such epithelia. Such tissues are represented by the epithelia of colon, bronchus, alveoli, breast, pancreas, biliary tract, superficial layer and parietal layers of the stomach. Predominately biliary canaliculi are labelled in the liver and this factor is useful in the diagnosis of hepatocelluar carcinoma. Anti-CEA has been quite useful in differentiating adenocarcinoma of the lung vs. mesothelioma. Associated products: CK 5/6, Calretinin, WT-1, E-Cadherin, TTF-1, TAG-72, EMA, CK 20

CD138, Syndecan 1, is expressed in the late stages of B-cell differentiation with progression towards plasma cells. It can be used to differentiate lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma from marginal zone lymphoma. ALK+ large B-cell lyphoma (LBCL) usually strongly expresses CD138 whereas lineageassociated markers such as anti-CD20 and anti-CD79a do not stain ALK+LBCL. Anti-CD138 is immunoreactive with HHV8-associated primary effusion lymphoma even though the lymphoma cells lack the expression of B-cell markers. Anti-CD138 is a good marker to identify and enumerate plasma cells, benign, reactive, or malignant, in bone marrow biopsy specimens.4,6 CD138 is also expressed in epithelial cells.

CD163, also known as scavenger receptor cysteine-rich type 1 protein M130, is an acute phase-regulated and signal-inducing transmembrane protein, found exclusively on cells of monocytic origin. CD163 plays a critical role in macrophage clearance and endocytosis of hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes. Therefore, CD163 contributes to the anti-inflammatory response and protects tissues from oxidative and inflammatory hemoglobin. Anti-CD163 labels cells of monocytic-macrophage lineage, with expression in bone marrow3 and histiocytic neoplasms. Solubilized in plasma, CD163 functions as an anti-inflammatory signal and has many roles in disease processes that range from autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis to atherosclerosis.

Anti-CD45 (anti-leukocyte common antigen) is routinely used to aid the differential diagnosis of undifferentiated neoplasms, whenever malignant lymphoma is suspected by the morphological or clinical data. It is a highly specific antibody; therefore a positive result is highly indicative of hematolymphoid origin. Certain types of hematolymphoid neoplasms may lack CD45 (Hodgkin lymphoma, some T-cell lymphomas, and some leukemias) so its absence does not rule out a hematolymphoid tumor. This antibody is expressed almost exclusively by cells of hematopoietic lineage and is present in most benign and malignant lymphocytes as well as plasma cell precursors.

The CD44 family of glycoproteins exists in a number of variant isoforms, the most common being the standard 85-95 kD or hematopoietic variant (CD44s) that is found in mesodermal cells such as hematopoietic, fibroblastic, and glial cells, as well as in some carcinoma cell lines. Higher molecular weight isoforms have been described in epithelial cells (CD44v) and are thought to function in intercellular adhesion and stromal binding. While many human tumors express CD44, a positive correlation between CD44v expression and tumor dedifferentiation has been demonstrated. MON 3237 may be useful in discrimination of urothelial carcinoma in-situ from non-neoplastic changes in the urothelium.

CD43 is a transmembrane protein involved in immune function and T-cell activation. AntiCD43 reactivity is seen in T lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes. No reactivity has been observed in normal or reactive B-cells. Reportedly, anti-CD43 reactivity is seen in the majority of T-cell lymphomas and some low grade B-cell lymphomas. Therefore, anti-CD43 is a useful immunohistochemical marker for the identification of T-cell lymphomas and some low grade B-cell lymphomas

CD31 has cytoplasmic, membranous expression in non-neoplastic and neoplastic vascular endothelial cells.1 It has been used as a tool to identify the vascular origin of neoplasms such as angiosarcomas, Kaposi sarcomas and epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. Immunohistochemical study with CD31 has also been shown useful to detect areas of tumor lymphovascular invasion. Additionally, detection of weak diffuse cytoplasmic CD31 immunoreactivity has been seen in cases of various carcinomas with occasional membranous staining in ductal carcinomas of the breast as well as in intratumoral macrophages.

The antibody detects a formalin-resistant epitope that is expressed by Reed-Sternberg cells in classic Hodgkin lymphoma, the majority of anaplastic large cell lymphomas, primary cutaneous CD30 positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders and in embryonal carcinomas. Occasionally diffuse large B-cell lymphoma stains with this antibody. This antibody also stains plasma cells in paraffin-embedded tissue as well as reactive immunoblasts. The staining pattern of anti-CD30 in lymphoma and embryonal carcinoma is different, with the former being membranous and exhibiting Golgi zone accentuation in location, and the latter being membranous only.

CD23 antigen is a 45-60 kDa membrane glycoprotein identified as a low affinity receptor for IgE production as well as a receptor for lymphocyte growth factor. CD23 is found in some mature B-cell lymphomas and in Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin disease. Follicular dendritic cells and some activated B-cells within germinal centers express CD23 in high density and mantle zone B-cells are stained. The majority of chronic lymphocytic leukemias/small lymphocytic lymphomas are anti-CD23 positive, whereas mantle cell lymphomas are generally negative, so this marker is useful when applied with other markers to separate the small cell lymphomas.1,3 Precursor B and T lymphomas, myeloid neoplasms, and mature T-cell lymphomas are CD23 negative and other small cell lymphomas are occasionally positive. Anti-CD23 is expressed in activated mature B-cells expressing IgM or IgD, monocytes/macrophages, follicular dendritic cells, T-cell subsets, eosinophils, Langerhans cells and small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

CD21 (also known as complement receptor 2 (CR2), C3d receptor, or EBV receptor) is a 140 kDa membrane protein on B-lymphocytes to which the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) binds during infection of these cells. The antigen is absent on T-lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes. MON 3027 is useful in the identification of follicular dendritic cell matrix found in normal lymph node and tonsillar tissue. This antibody also labels follicular dendritic cell sarcomas. Anti-CD21 is valuable in differentiating follicular lymphoma with marginal zone differentiation from marginal zone lymphoma with follicular involvement. It also plays a role in distinguishing among nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma, lymphocyte-rich classic Hodgkin lymphoma, and T-cell/histiocyte-rich B-cell lymphoma in combination with other B-cell and T-cell markers.6 Anti-CD21 is also useful in identifying abnormal follicular dendritic cell pattern in angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and follicular T-cell lymphoma.

CD20 is a transmembrane protein in late B-cell precursors and mature B-cells that plays a role in regulating proliferation and differentiation. CD20 expression is lost at the plasma cell stage of differentiation. MON 3226 (pan B-cell) has rarely been detected in T-cell malignancies, and is a dependable marker of B-cell lymphomas such as DLBCL. CD20 expression is present in some thymomas. It does not cross-react with non-hematopoietic neoplasms.

Common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen (CALLA / CD10) is a useful marker for the characterization of childhood leukemia and B cell lymphomas. This antibody reacts with antigen of lymphoblastic, Burkitts, and follicular lymphomas; and chronic myelocytic leukemia. Also, Anti-CD10 detects the antigen of glomerular epithelial cells and the brush border of the proximal tubules; this characteristic may be helpful in interpreting renal ontogenesis in conjunction with other markers. Other non-lymphoid cells that are reactive with CD10 are breast myoepithelial cells, bile canaliculi, neutrophils and small population of bone marrow cells, fetal small intestine epithelium, and normal fibroblasts.

CD7 antigen is a 40-kDa cell surface glycoprotein that is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. While its precise function is not known, it is suggested that CD7 plays a role in T-cell interactions as it is one of the earliest T-cell lineage associated antigens expressed during T-cell ontogeny. CD7 is expressed in thymocytes, mature peripheral T-cells, natural killer cells, and lymphoid and myeloid progenitors. CD7 is the most consistently expressed T cell antigen in lymphoblastic lymphomas and leukemias, and is therefore a useful marker in the identification of such neoplastic proliferations. In mature post-thymic T cell neoplasms, it is the most common pan-T antigen to be aberrantly absent and its absence in a T cell population is a useful pointer to a neoplastic conversion.

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.

Bcl-2 is a useful marker for identifying neoplastic cells in follicular lymphoma. Antibodies specific for the Bcl-2 protein can be used to distinguish between reactive and neoplastic follicular proliferation in lymph node biopsies.

The antibody recognizes a human breast carcinoma associated glycoprotein BCA-225 (220-225kD). This protein differs in size and distribution from other breast carcinoma antigens. Anti-BCA-225 primary antibody labels breast cancer antigen 225 (BCA-225) in primary and metastatic breast carcinoma. BCA-225 was first identified in T47D breast carcinoma cells, but its expression in other carcinomas such as lung, kidney, ovary and endometrium has

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a fetal tumor-associated polypeptide of the albuminoid gene family that binds and transports molecules in addition to many other proposed functions. This secretory protein is synthesized primarily in the fetal liver whereas expression is repressed in adult liver.Anti-AFP has been immunohistochemically demonstrated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and shows no immunoreactivity in normal liver.

Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a novel receptor protein-tyrosine kinase. ALK can create a fusion protein with a nuclear protein gene called nucleophosmin (NPM) via the amino terminus of NPM and the catalytic domain of ALK. The product of this fusion protein is oncogenic.1 Studies have found this chromosomal translocation in most anaplastic large-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, making ALK a good marker for anaplastic large cell lymphomas

The antibody recognizes actin of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells. It is not reactive with other mesenchymal cells except for myoepithelium. Muscle Specific Actin is a part of the actin family of proteins which are highly conserved, major components of the cytoskeleton. Anti-Muscle Specific Actin immunohistochemical reactivity is seen in skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells and can be seen in neoplasms with muscle differentiation such as leiomyomas and rhabdomyosarcomas. In contrast, antiMuscle Specific Actin reactivity is typically not seen in endothelial cells, connective tissues, carcinomas, melanomas, lymphomas and most nonmyogenic sarcomas

Smooth Muscle Actin is a part of the actin family of proteins which are highly conserved and form microfilaments. These filaments are one of the major components of the cytoskeleton. Anti-smooth muscle actin immunohistochemical reactivity is seen in smooth muscle cells, myofibroblasts and myoepithelial cells.

ACTH or Adrenocorticotropic hormone is synthesized from pre-pro-opiomelanocortin (pre-POMC). ACTH is produced and secreted from corticotrophs in the anterior lobe (or adenohypophysis) of the pituitary gland. The anti-ACTH immunohistochemical reagent could be useful in the study of neoplastic and non-neoplastic pituitary diseases

The immunohistochemical staining of Alpha-1-Antitrypsin is considered to be very useful in the study of inherited AAT deficiency, benign and malignant hepatic tumors and yolk sac carcinomas. Positive staining for A-1-Antitrypsin may also be used in detection of benign and malignant lesions of an histiocytic nature. Sensitivity and specificity of the results have made this antibody a useful tool in the screening of patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis or other forms of liver disease with portal fibrosis of uncertain etiology.

p40 is a relatively unknown antibody that recognizes ?Np63-a p63 isoform suggested to be highly specific for squamous/basal cells. In a recent study, p40 is equivalent to p63 in sensitivity for squamous cell carcinoma, but it is markedly superior to p63 in specificity1, which eliminates a potential pitfall of misinterpreting a p63-positive adenocarcinoma or unsuspected lymphoma as squamous cell carcinoma. These findings strongly support the routine use of p40 in place of p63 for the diagnosis of pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma. Postive control Prostate
