Mucin Histochemistry in Tumours of Colon, Ovaries and Lung
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods: The resection specimens and biopsies from tumours of colon (n=16), ovaries (n=13) and lung (n=5) were included and stained with H&E to determin the histological diagnosis for selecting tissues with mucin production. Slides were stained with PAS, Alcian blue, High iron diamine-Alcian blue, Meyer’s mucicarmine and Alcian blue-PAS to demonstrate the mucin production and to identify types of mucins.

"Mucin secreting" and "mucinous" primary thyroid carcinomas: pitfalls in mucin histochemistry applied to thyroid tumours.
Forty primary carcinomas of the thyroid of different histological types were reviewed and studied histochemically, with the aim of identifying and assessing "mucin secretion". The patterns of extracellular "pure alcianophilia" and "mixed alcianophilia" were noted in 7.5% and about 50% of these tumours, respectively. A critical review of the pitfalls in methods and interpretation of mucin histoc...
متن کاملMucin histochemistry of mucous carcinomas of breast and colon and non-neoplastic breast epithelium.
Although epithelial mucin has been demonstrated in ordinary mammary duct carcinomas, it is formed profusely in the uncommon mucous carcinomas. A histochemical study of mucous carcinomas of the breast and colon showed that both types produce similar mucins, viz, acid and neutral, although the mammary carcinomas produce more neutral mucin and small amounts of sulphated mucins are produced by colo...
متن کاملMucin producing microfollicular adenoma of the thyroid.
An unusual case of a mucin secreting benign microfollicular adenoma of the thyroid in a 30 year old euthyroid woman is reported. Histologically, the lesion was characterised by follicular cells with the appearance of signet ring cells. Histochemistry showed the mucin content of these cells to consist uniformly of sulphated acid mucins; positive thyroglobulin immunostaining was also shown. The p...
متن کاملDevelopmental expression of mucin genes MUC1 and MUC2.
The mucin gene MUC1, is expressed in a number of human ductal epithelia in vivo including those within the pancreas, mammary gland, kidney and genital ducts. Further it is expressed at a high level in certain tumours and tumour-derived cell lines. MUC2 was initially isolated from a human jejunum cDNA library and is thought to be one of the major intestinal mucin genes, though it is also express...
متن کاملAltered expression of mucins throughout the colon in ulcerative colitis.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Regional differences in the biology of the colonic epithelium may determine the extent of involvement by ulcerative colitis. Novel monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were used in this study to investigate regional heterogeneity in the colonic mucosa. METHODS MAbs generated using a method of tolerisation against common antigens in the proximal colon and distal colon were used for imm...
