KIT-dependent cell types include mast cells, some hematopoietic stem cells, germ cells, melanocytes, and Cajal cells of the gastrointestinal tract, and neoplasms of these cells are examples of KIT-positive tumors. Other KIT-positive normal cells include epith...
NE cells were used as positive internal controls for all the probes, and the surrounding connective and smooth muscle tissue was used as a negative internal control. In addition, a small biopsy from normal colonic mucosa was used as a negative control. Scoring and Reporting All sections were ...
Staining of <10% of the cells was accepted as negative. Staining intensity was evaluated only in positive cases. By addition of the extent and intensity scores, the combined score was calculated. In our study, the combined CD117 staining scores of neoplastic and inflammatory groups were found ...
In patients with ISM and aggressive SM (ASM), the CD34+/CD38─ stem cells exhibited a similar surface marker profile compared to MCL, but expressed lower levels of CD133 and did not express IL-1RAP. In the validation phase of our study, we examined the effects of target-specific ...
CD81 appears to correlate with disease burden and might be useful as a prognostic marker. CD229 is a reliable gating marker for plasma cells. Ploidy analysis may be incorporated in routine workup to guide in the identification of patients with poor prognosis....
An aberrant PC cluster was defined by presence of >30 plasma cells with light chain restriction and/or aberrant immunophenotypes. 1. Expression profile of antigens on the polyclonal PC compartment; 2. Post-therapy immunomodulation in MM. Polyclonal PC were observed in 65.42% of treatment nave ...
Canine prostate cancer and PIA samples contained a higher number of Ki67-positive cells compared to normal samples. The median relative quantification (RQ) for c-KIT expression in normal, PIA and prostate cancer and metastatic samples were 0.6 (0.1-2.5), 0.7 (0.09-2.1), 0.7 (0.09-5.1) and...
