Download or read book Immunohistochemical Expression written by Rosario Caltabiano and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-09-02 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is an ancillary method, widely used in pathologists’ practice, that allows identifying diagnostic and prognostic/predictive of therapeutic response protein markers on tissue samples by the use of specific monoclonal antibodies and chromogenic substances that guarantee the visualization of an antibody–antigene binding complex under a light microscope [1]. Coon et al., in 1941 [2], first introduced the use of fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies in clinical practice. Since then, IHC has gone from being a useful tool for identifying the differentiation line of otherwise undifferentiated cells to a technique capable of providing not only diagnostic but also prognostic and predictive indications of responses to specific therapeutic options [1,3]. The abovementioned peculiarities have made IHC one of the most used ancillary methods in the histopathological approach to human neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases [3-5]. This Special Issue contains 11 accepted papers that provide readers with a comprehensive update on current and future applications of IHC in medical practice.

This book was released on 2011-08-27 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of high-yield, at-a-glance summaries for various topics on which pathologists frequently need information in a quick reference format while at the microscope (or when cramming for the boards). The authors are early-career pathologists who have compiled this book from the perspective of pathologists-in-training.

The book has a unique format in that the information is presented primarily in tables and diagrams accompanied by minimal explanatory text. It is intended to serve as a ‘peripheral brain’ for pathology residents and also practicing pathologists, where frequently needed information is readily accessible and easy to navigate.

Download or read book In Situ Molecular Pathology and Co expression Analyses written by Gerard J. Nuovo and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major advancements in the field of in situ molecular pathology have occurred since publication of the first edition. In Situ Molecular Pathology and Co-expression Analyses, Second Edition, continues to teach both the molecular basis for the improvements and the actual protocols. This is the unique feature that separates it from the pack of other "cook-book" type approaches. The fields of in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry have expanded rapidly where computer-based analyses systems have greatly expanded the power of these methods. Further, knowledge of the marked improvements in the reagents themselves since the first edition can make the difference of excellent versus misleading data. The automated platforms require that researchers and diagnostic biomedical investigators have a good understanding of the basics of in situ based tests, protocols, and biochemistry for troubleshooting in order to maximize the use of these platforms. This second edition focuses attention on straightforward protocols used to simultaneously detect two or more proteins/nucleic acids within intact tissue by doing co-expression analyses. Practicing molecular pathologists, diagnostic pathologists, laboratory directors, and toxicologists, as well as clinicians and researchers in training, will benefit from this clear presentation of protocols and theoretical framework. Data derived from in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Explains the theory and foundation of immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization and presents easy-to-follow experimental protocols with tricks of the trade Includes two new chapters: Recent improvements in immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, Quality control for immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization: How to know if the color change is signal or background The second edition also includes a detailed test to help one learn the basics of histologic interpretation of tissues and a separate detailed test in how to differentiate signal from background Includes chapter-ending summaries of Key Points to Remember, bringing beginners up to speed with any seasoned veteran in the field Thoughtfully tackles the molecular basis if IHC and ISH, along with application of that knowledge to improving the techniques is significant

Download or read book Immunohistochemical Expression of DNAJB9 in IgG4 related Disease written by Emily Stuchfield-Denby and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction. Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare immune-mediated condition with expansion of plasmablasts/plasma cells and possible upregulation of DNAJB9. DNAJB9 (a co-chaperone protein that governs the integrity and functions of cells) was described as a specific marker for fibrillary glomerulonephritis, a rare proliferative form of glomerulonephritis displaying histological similarities with IgG4-related kidney disease. DNAJB9 may be a putative autoantigen. We aimed to study the immunohistochemical expression of DNAJB9 in IgG4-RD to explore its role in disease pathophysiology. Methods. We selected patients with definite IgG4-RD (RCD, ACR/EULAR or ICDC classification criteria), non-auto-immune (NAI) controls and Sjögren's syndrome controls, and produced tissue slides for anti-DNAJB9 immunohistochemistry on which we performed double reading and applied our intensity scoring system ranging from 0 to 4. Our positive control was a renal sample suggestive of fibrillary glomerulonephritis. Results. We studied the tissue slides of 9 IgG4-RD patients and 15 NAI controls (including salivary gland, pancreatic, pulmonary, pleural, and retroperitoneal fibrotic tissue). Median intensity for endothelial cells was 0 in IgG4-RD and 2 in NAI controls (p

Download or read book Handbook of Immunohistochemistry and in Situ Hybridization of Human Carcinomas written by M. A. Hayat and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-06-16 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The various cell types have traditionally been recognized and classified according to their appearance in the light microscope following the process of fixing, processing, sectioning, and staining tissues that is known as histology. Classical histology has been augmented by immunohistochemistry (the use of specific antibodies to stain particular molecular species in situ). Immunohistochemistry has allowed the identification of many more cell types than could be visualized by classical histology, particularly in the immune system and among the scattered hormone-secreting cells of the endocrine system. Handbook of Immunohistochemistry and in Situ Hybridization of Human Carcinomas discusses all aspects of immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization technologies and the important role they play in reaching a cancer diagnosis. It provides step-by-step instructions on the methods of additional molecular technologies such as DNA microarrays, and microdissection, along with the benefits and limitations of each method. The topics of region-specific gene expression, its role in cancer development and the techniques that assist in the understanding of the molecular basis of disease are relevant and necessary in science today, ensuring a wide audience for this book. The only book available that translates molecular genetics into cancer diagnosis Provides the readers with tools necessary to perform and optimize sensitive, powerful techniques, including immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization, used in tumor diagnosis Written by experts in this field, the book provides theoretical considerations as well as practical approaches to carry out effectively these techniques Offers suggestions, tips, cautions, and guidelines to avoid artifacts and misdiagnosis Introduces new techniques to detect genes and proteins involved in the initiation and progression of cancer Covers the latest developments and a wide range of applications to the detection of antigens and single-copy DNA and RNA Written in a uniform format, each chapter includes Introduction, Materials required, step-by-step detailed Methods, Results, Discussion, and comprehensive up-to-date References
