June 1st, 1987. Immunohistochemical evaluation of pleural mesothelioma and pulmonary adenocarcinoma. A bi-institutional study of 47 cases
The MFG was apparently specific for adenocarcinoma, but the findings were difficult to interpret. At the level of individual cases, greater sensitivity of separation can be achieved by combining the results of two or more antibodies, but the lack of a detectable specific antigen in mesothelioma continues to make some cases difficult to evaluate by immunohistochemistry alone.
