| 1 | p53 immunostaining in the distinction between benign and malignant mesothelial proliferations using formalin-fixed paraffin sections. | Paraffin | tumor protein p53 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | The object of this study was to examine the frequency of immunohistochemically detectable p53 overexpression in routinely processed, paraffin-embedded tissue from pleural mesotheliomas and from pleura showing reactive mesothelial hyperplasia, using a polyclonal antibody to formalin-resistant p53 epitopes, and to consider the diagnostic utility of this antibody in the distinction between mesothelioma and reactive mesothelium in pleural biopsy specimens. | Paraffin | tumor protein p53 | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | In conclusion, this study suggests that p53 immunostaining can help to distinguish epithelial or biphasic mesothelioma from reactive mesothelial hyperplasia in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded pleural biopsy specimens. | Paraffin | tumor protein p53 | Homo sapiens |
