Ultrastructural histochemistry of mesotheliomas and adenocarcinomas in malignant effusions
…along the outer surface of the cell aggregates, while carcinomas displayed a positive reaction either on the outer surface or on both inner and outer surfaces of the clusters. The diagnostic significance of the above-mentioned…

Neubauer v. Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. (1982)
…and a study to be published by the Labor Department estimates that at least 8,500 workers — perhaps as many as 10,000 — will die each year until the end of this century from asbestos-related…

Keratin and epithelial membrane antigen immunoreactivity in nonneoplastic fibrous pleural lesions: implications for the diagnosis of desmoplastic mesothelioma
…EMA stained five of ten plaques and four of 11 lesions. Keratin also stained the fibrous reaction around six of eight metastases. Benign localized fibrous mesotheliomas and 16 fibrous lesions away from the pleura did not…

Immunohistological staining of reactive mesothelium, mesothelioma, and lung carcinoma with a panel of monoclonal antibodies
…but was present in most of the lung carcinomas. CEA seemed to be the single most useful marker in distinguishing carcinoma from mesothelioma in that a positive reaction for CEA would indicate carcinoma rather than mesothelioma.

Adenomatoid tumor of ejaculatory duct
…stain for two prostate markers, prostate specific antigen and prostate specific acid phosphatase. It showed no reaction for factor VIII antigen. It contained faint focal mucin and some yellowish brown pigment. The authors separated it from…

Malignant mesothelioma and CEA staining
…which is neither tumor- nor organ-specific. The author added that CEA staining results are not valid unless this reaction is first removed by absorbing the antisera with NCA. Earlier reports describing CEA in mesothelioma had…

Gallium scanning in differentiating malignant from benign asbestos-related pleural disease
…no history of exposure. Scans were also positive in 3 of the 16 patients with benign disease (19%), and tissue removed from these three showed a strong inflammatory reaction. Among asbestos-exposed patients, the scan's…

The biological effects of mineral fibres
…In the studies reviewed, glass fibres injected into animals' body cavities produced mesotheliomas, while inhaled glass fibre produced little tissue reaction. Studies of glass fibre workers had so far been negative. The review also described reports…

Cytogenetic findings in an effusion secondary from pleural mesothelioma
…years earlier a similar episode had been diagnosed as tuberculous pleuritis. Routine examination of cells in the fluid showed only a nonspecific reaction of the lining cells, and a pleural biopsy found no signs of cancer…

Adenomatoid tumour of the uterus
…EMA or CEA. The tumour cells did not stain for Factor VIII, unlike the blood vessels in the same sections. Many tumour cells showed a moderate reaction for keratin, and most, but not all, stained for…

Distinct keratin patterns demonstrated by immunoperoxidase staining of adenocarcinomas, carcinoids, and mesotheliomas using polyclonal and monoclonal anti-keratin antibodies
…10 adenocarcinomas, 10 carcinoids, and 4 mesotheliomas by an immunoperoxidase reaction using 3 polyclonal and 3 monoclonal antibodies to keratin. When color development in diaminobenzidine (DAB) was allowed to proceed for less than 2 minutes, distinct…

Immunohistochemical staining for vimentin and keratin in malignant mesothelioma
…were negative. In the mesotheliomas that did stain, both epithelial and spindled elements gave a positive reaction. Three alcohol-fixed lung cancers and two blocks of alcohol-fixed pleura failed to stain for vimentin. By contrast…

Immunocytological staining reactions of anti-carcinoembryonic antigen, Ca, and anti-human milk fat globule monoclonal antibodies on benign and malignant exfoliated mesothelial cells
This laboratory study tested whether three antibody stains could help tell mesothelioma apart from lung cancer and from benign conditions, using cells shed into body-cavity fluid (pleural or peritoneal effusions). The stains detected…
