Ulex europeus I—peroxidase as a marker of vascular endothelium: Its application in routine histopathology

摘要: Peroxidase-labelled Ulex europeus I lectin has been applied to a series of routinely fixed and processed vascular lesions assess its value in the identification endothelium. A group breast carcinomas previously examined for binding tumour have re-assessed evaluation use determination invasion. There was consistent normal endothelium but this could be variable, there being stronger reactivity small vessels some tissues. All benign stained showed clear definition channels angiosarcomas were much less their staining reaction peroxidase-labelled considered satisfactory marker. Lymphatic always negative; proved useful feature differentiating between blood vessel lymphatic invasion by carcinoma. I-peroxidase certainly role routine histopathology area.
