以下是引用benben520sps在2011-5-18 22:23:00的发言:
我们上周诊断了一例基底细胞样鳞癌,很少见得,主要是看它的HE特征,癌巢周围的细胞栅栏样排列,没有和经典的低分化鳞癌区分开来。 还有一点bcl-2在基底细胞样鳞癌里阳性是特异的吗???? |
bcl-2抗体的敏感虽然高,但其应用的特异性不是同样的高,在一些淋巴瘤、癌和软组织肿瘤中都可表达。bcl-2的表达主要与某些细胞的增殖和细胞周期进程相关。因此,bcl-2对于基底细胞鳞癌不是特异的。
除了针对病原微生物的一些抗体外,任何抗体不管敏感性有多好,但其特异性都是相对的,这就是做肿瘤鉴别诊断时需要抗体套餐的理由所在。
以上如有不妥请指正。谢谢!

In histology and cell block sections, antibodies to thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) and p63 have been demonstrated to be useful markers for distinguishing between small-cell lung carcinoma and poorly differentiated pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma. In this study, we assessed the utility of TTF-1 and p63, as an antibody panel, for differentiating between these two neoplasms in previously Papanicolaou (Pap)-stained cytologic smears and cytospin slides. Twenty-six lung carcinomas (13 small-cell lung carcinomas, 13 poorly differentiated pulmonary squamous cell carcinomas) were evaluated. One or two previously 95% ethanol-fixed, Pap-stained smears or cytospin slides were selected from each case. The cytologic material from these slides was transferred to positively charged slides. Unstained recuts were obtained from the corresponding histologic specimens or cell blocks. Immunohistochemical staining for TTF-1 and p63 was performed on the paired samples from each tumor. All (13/13) small-cell lung carcinomas were negative for p63 and 92% (12/13) were positive for TTF-1. Conversely, all (13/13) poorly differentiated pulmonary squamous cell carcinomas expressed p63 and did not express TTF-1. Immunoreactivity for p63 was also noted in bronchial reserve cells and metaplastic squamous cells. The immunostaining results obtained from the cytology slides were concordant with those of the histology or cell block sections in all cases. The results of this study show that TTF-1 and p63 immunostaining can be successfully applied to previously Pap-stained cytologic material, as an antibody panel, to facilitate pathologic differentiation between small-cell lung carcinomas and poorly differentiated pulmonary squamous cell carcinomas. p63 immunostaining, however, must be interpreted in conjunction with cytomorphology to distinguish between poorly differentiated pulmonary squamous cell carcinomas and benign cellular constituents of the lung
