TTF-1
  
  • All IHC stains will include a positive control tissue
  
  • This cocktail is intended to be used to assist in differentiating lung adenocarcinomas and lung squamous cell carcinomas. This TTF-1/P40 cocktail has a reported sensitivity of 77% and a specificity of 100% for lung adenocarcinomas. This TTF-1/P40coktail has a reported sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 92% for lung squamous cell carcinomas
  • Other tumors reported to be positive for TTF-1 include neuroendocrine tumors (pulmonary and non-pulmonary origin), thyroid neoplasms, a subset of endometrial and cervical neoplasms, papillary nasopharyngeal carcinomas, and colorectal adenocarcinoma. Tumors which have been reported to rarely stain for TTF-1 in a subset of tumor cells include: cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian, gastric/esophageal, pancreatic ductal, urothelial, hepatocellular, salivary gland neoplasms including adenoid cystic carcinoma, and adrenal cortical carcinoma
  • Other tumors reported to be positive for the P40 clone used in this cocktail include bladder, breast, and prostate

Specifications

  • TTF-1 reacts with a transcription factor expressed in thyroid (follicular cells), lung (type II cells, Clara cells), and diencephalon
  • P40 is one of 10 p63 isoforms which is highly specific for squamous differentiation

Staining pattern

  • Positive TTF-1 staining: Brown nuclear staining
  • Positive P40 staining: Red nuclear staining
