Method name and description
|
- Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human Renal Cell Carcinoma Marker, Clone SPM314
- Immunoperoxidase stain on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue section
|
|
Clinical information
|
Anti-renal cell carcinoma (RCC) recognizes a 200 kD glycoprotein localized in the brush border of the proximal renal tubule. This antibody immunoreacts with approximately most primary renal cell carcinomas and can aid in the diagnosis when renal cell carcinoma enters the differential diagnosis.
