Description: Elite PAP pen is a special marking pen that provides a thin film-like green-tinged hydrophobic barrier when a circle is drawn around a specimen on a slide. This water repellent barrier keeps staining reagents localized on the tissue sections, prevents mixing of reagents when differentially staining two sections on the same slide, and allows use of less reagents per section. Insoluble in alcohol and acetone, PAP Pen markings can be optionally removed with xylene after the staining procedure is complete.

Description: Elite mini PAP pen is a special marking pen that provides a thin film-like green-tinged hydrophobic barrier when a circle is drawn around a specimen on a slide. This water repellent barrier keeps staining reagents localized on the tissue sections, prevents mixing of reagents when differentially staining two sections on the same slide, and allows use of less reagents per section.

Description: This antibody reacts with hCG. It stains strongly with the human placenta and placental trophoblasts.

Supplier: Diagnostic Biosystems

Description: This antibody is specific to an oncofetal antigen of >1,000 kDa known as tumor associated glycoprotein (TAG-72) or CA 72-4. This antibody defines the mucin carried sialylated-Tn antigen. This antibody stains the majority of human adenocarcinomas including colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, ovarian, endometrial, mammary and non-small cell lung cancer.

Supplier: Diagnostic Biosystems

Description: This antibody reacts with cytokeratin 5 intermediate filament protein. Basal cells of human epidermis express acidic cytokeratin 14 and basic cytokeratin 5. Cytokeratin 5 is a 58 kDa protein, which is closely related to cytokeratin 6. Cytokeratin 5 and 6 are expressed in basal cell epithelioma, basal cells of prostate, urothelium, vagina, squamous cell carcinomas of skin, tongue, epiglottis and rectal-anal region. Cytokeratin 5 can be useful in the distinction of mesotheliomas from most adenocarcinomas.

Supplier: Diagnostic Biosystems

Description: This antibody reacts with an antigen expressed by normal and neoplastic T cells and myeloid lineage cells. It strongly stains T cells in the interfollicular areas of normal lymphoid tissues.

Supplier: Diagnostic Biosystems

Description: CD4 is glycoprotein found on the surface of immune cells such as T helper cells, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It is a co-receptor that assists the T-cell receptor (TCR) with antigen-presenting cell and also interacts directly with MHC class II molecules of the surface of antigen presenting cells. Most mature T-cell lymphomas are CD4 positive with the exception of aggressive NK-cell leukemia and extranodal NL/T-cell lymphoma. CD4 plays an important role in the classification of lymphocytes in inflammatory legions and malignant lymphomas.

Supplier: Diagnostic Biosystems

Description: E-cadherin (uvomorulin, cell-CAM120/80) is a calcium dependent cell adhesion molecule expressed predominately in epithelial tissues. It plays an important role in the growth and development of cells via the mechanisms of control of tissue architecture and the maintenance of tissue integrity. Numerous studies have demonstrated that reduction and/or loss of E-cadherin expression in carcinomas correlates positively with the potential of these tumors for invasion and metastasis.

Description: p63 is a homolog of the tumor suppressor p53, it is identified in basal cells in the epithelial layers of a variety of tissues, including epidermis, cervix, urothelium, breast and prostate. p63, vital for the development of the prostate and selectively expressed by normal prostate basal cells, has been shown to be a promising complementary basal cell specific marker to High Molecular Weight-Cytokeratin (HMW-CK), for the differential diagnosis of benign prostatic lesions and prostatic carcinoma. p63 has also been shown to be a sensitive marker for lung squamous cell carcinomas (SqCC), with a sensitivity of ~90% . Specificity for lung SqCC, vs. lung adenocarcinoma (LADC), is approximately 80. In breast tissue, p63 has been identified in myoepithelial cells of normal ducts.

Supplier: Diagnostic Biosystems

Description: This antibody reacts with a 145 kDa protein. CD117/c-kit is a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase and is expressed in many tissues and cells. CD117/c-kit is involved in the development of several lineages of stem cells, such as germ cells, neural crest derived melanocytes and hematopoietic precursor cells. This antibody can be used in the identification of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Supplier: Diagnostic Biosystems

Description: This antibody is specific to a 48 kDa protein, which is identified as cytokeratin 16. Cytokeratin 16 is expressed in keratinocytes, which are undergoing rapid turnover in the suprabasal region. High concordance was found between the carcinomas immunostaining with the basal cell and the hyperproliferation-related keratins.

Supplier: Diagnostic Biosystems

Description: This antibody reacts with 70 and 200 kDa component of the neurofilament polypeptide subunit. It stains neurons, neuronal processes and peripheral nerves. This antibody reacts with some neuroblastomas and gangliomas but not with other non-neuronal tumors.

Supplier: Diagnostic Biosystems

Description: SMADs are members of the MAD-related family of molecules. MAD-related proteins are a family of intracellular proteins that are essential components in the signaling pathways of the serine/threonine kinase receptors of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily. Alterations in the SMAD4 gene was primarily discovered in pancreatic cancer (duct adenocarcinoma) but occur in a variety of cancers such as colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, prostate cancer, melanomas, head and neck cancers and many others, though with higher frequencies in gastrointestinal tract cancers. Loss of SMAD4 expression in tumors has also been shown to affect cancer progression and therapy, such as reduced response to adjuvant chemotherapy.

Supplier: Diagnostic Biosystems

Description: This antibody recognizes CD23. CD23 is a 45 kDa glycoprotein, which is present on a subpopulation of freshly isolated peripheral blood and tonsil B cells and strongly expressed on EBV-transformed B lymphoblasts. The CD23 molecule is identical to the low affinity IgE receptor found on B cells. Expression of CD23 has been detected in neoplastic cells from cases of B cell chronic lymphocyctic leukemia and some cases of centroblastic/centrocytic lymphoma.

Description: CD45 is useful in differential diagnosis of lymphoid tumors from non-hematopoietic undifferentiated neoplasms.

Supplier: Diagnostic Biosystems

Description: Uroplakins (UPs) are a family of transmembrane proteins (UPs Ia, Ib, II and III) that are specific differentiation products of urothelial cells. Uroplakins are markers of terminally differentiated urothelium. Uroplakin II (UPII) is a newly described sensitive marker for urothelial carcinoma (UC). The expression profile of UPII in different types of UC and its utility in the diagnostic setting are needed.
