LAB12376
LAB12379
  
  • All IHC stains will include a positive control tissue
  
  • The primary use for this antibody is in distinguishing between epithelial versus mesothelial proliferations. It is one of the best markers currently available in recognizing adenocarcinoma
  • This antibody should be used in a panel (see mesothelioma vs. adenocarcinoma panel)

Specimen

  
Tissue
  

Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue block

  

Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue block

  

FFPE tissue section mounted on a charged, unstained slide

  

Ambient (preferred)

Immunohistochemical staining and microscopic examination

Clinical and Interpretive info

  

If requested, an interpretive report will be provided

  

Specifications

  • MOC-31 is an antibody directed against a small cell carcinoma cell line
  • It reacts with an epithelial antigen present on most normal and malignant epithelia
  • Reactive mesothelial cells and malignant mesotheliomas show rare expression with this antibody

Staining pattern

  • Membrane based staining
