Immunohistochemical staining for adipophilin perilipin and TIP47

摘要

BackgroundThe presence of lipid in the cell cytoplasm is useful for supporting the diagnosis of sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC). Currently this requires histochemical stains that are carried out on frozen sections of unprocessed tissue. Recently, several anti‐adipocytic antibodies that recognise proteins associated with lipid vesicles have been described. These antibodies can be applied to paraffin‐wax sections.
