The expression of vimentin in Reed-Sternberg cells in 61 samples of Hodgkin's disease (HD) was examined using an avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex technique. Forty biopsies (66%) expressed vimentin, and expression was seen in all subtypes of HD. No immunophenotypic differences between vimentin-positive and vimentin-negative cases were noted. The significance of such expression is unclear, but may be related to the alterations in growth and differentiation that are typical of neoplastic cells.
采用抗生物素蛋白-生物素-过氧化物酶复合物技术检测了61例霍奇金淋巴瘤(HD)样本中里德-斯腾伯格细胞波形蛋白的表达情况。40例活检样本(66%)表达波形蛋白,且在HD的所有亚型中均可见该表达。波形蛋白阳性和阴性病例之间未发现免疫表型差异。这种表达的意义尚不清楚,但可能与肿瘤细胞典型的生长和分化改变有关。
