Immunocytochemical detection by a fully automated immunostainer for assisting subclassification of pulmonary tumors on ThinPrep slides in real‐life clinical samples: A single‐institution experience
Abstract:Introduction
This study aims to investigate the feasibility and reliability of ThinPrep slides in detecting the subclassification of lung cancer and develop a process for immunocytochemistry (ICC) with optimized staining steps of an automated immunostainer.
Methods
Cytomorphology and ancillary ICC by automated immunostainer on ThinPrep slides were performed to subclassify 271 cytology cases of pulmonary tumor, which were stained with 2 or more of the following antibodies: p40, p63, thyroid transcription factor… Show more
