mesothelioma, and reactive mesothelium

چکیده
Antibodies raised against human milk fat globule (HMFG 1 and 2) and carcinoembryonic antigen were used in an immunoperoxidase technique to differentiate mesothelioma, carcinoma, and benign, reactive mesothelium. Sixteen mesotheliomas, 27 lung carcinomas, and 13 specimens of reactive mesothelium were examined. Staining for carcinoembryonic antigen was not seen in reactive mesothelium or mesothelioma but was present in 22 of 27 carcinomas. Mesothelioma and carcinoma usually stained with HMFG 1 and 2; reactive mesothelium did not. These three antibodies may help to distinguish carcinoma, mesothelioma, and reactive mesothelium.

Cytomorphometry made on cytological slides is the quantitative method of precise analysis of cellular structures, including both cytoplasm and nucleus. The aim of this study was to describe cytomorphometric parameters of mesothelial cells in the course of benign reactive and malignant proliferation and to compare them to carcinomas and adenocarcinomas located within serosal cavities in dogs. Th...
متن کاملDetection of SV40 like viral DNA and viral antigens in malignant pleural mesothelioma.
This study investigated the presence of simian vacuolating virus 40 (SV40) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in malignant pleural mesothelioma, non-neoplastic mesothelium and pleural carcinoma metastasis and correlated these data with immunohistochemistry for SV40 viral antigens. The novel Primed In Situ (PRINS) method was applied to detect the presence of SV40 DNA in situ in tissue sections of malig...

OBJECTIVES To examine carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), a marker of renal cell carcinoma that recently has been described in malignant effusions. METHODS Pleural and peritoneal fluids with the following diagnoses-reactive (n = 23), carcinoma (n = 17), and "suspicious for mesothelioma" (n = 4)-were immunostained for CAIX, calretinin, Ber-EP4, and MOC31. A tissue microarray of epithelioid (n = 27) ...
