Diagnostic Grids
Fellow Pathologists- In these times of exciting and rapid change in the field of immunohistochemistry, Cell Marque brings many new products to market. With this are applications involving the newer antibodies as well as new data on applications involving established antibodies. As the applications grow, so too do the diagnostic grids. I hope they are of some assistance as a quick reference. Keep in mind that not all indicated tumors of a specified category will fit the indicated immunohistochemical pattern, and there is no substitute for familiarity with the literature dealing with these products. -Michael G. Lacey, MD.
