General description

Mucins are a diverse group of complex, highly glycosylated extracellular proteins. Mucin 2 (MUC2) protects the gastric and intestinal epithelium from chemical and mechanical injury. Anti-MUC2 reactivity is normally seen in goblet cells of the small intestine and colon and is associated with mucinous carcinomas, including those of the gastrointestinal tract and ovary. MUC2 immunohistochemistry is useful for identifying colonic, gastric, and esophageal carcinomas.
Muscle Specific Actin is a part of the actin family of proteins which are highly conserved, major components of the cytoskeleton. Anti-Muscle Specific Actin immunohistochemical reactivity is seen in skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells and can be seen in neoplasms with muscle differentiation such as leiomyomas and rhabdomyosarcomas. In contrast, anti-Muscle Specific Actin reactivity is typically not seen in endothelial cells, connective tissues, carcinomas, melanomas, lymphomas, and most non-myogenic sarcomas.

R A Schmidt et al.
The American journal of pathology, 131(1), 19-28 (1988-04-01)
The authors have recently developed a monoclonal antibody, HHF35, that recognizes the muscle-specific isoforms of actin. To determine its potential usefulness in the differential diagnosis of "small, round, blue cell" tumors of childhood, they immunolabeled formalinor B-5-fixed tissue sections from
N Azumi et al.
Modern pathology : an official journal of the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology, Inc, 1(6), 469-474 (1988-11-01)
Two fibrillary proteins, muscle-specific actin (MSA) and desmin, are found only in cells of smooth and skeletal muscle lineages. Among the monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to these antigens which we have tested, we found several to be reactive in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded
S Rangdaeng et al.
American journal of clinical pathology, 96(1), 32-45 (1991-07-01)
Muscle-specific actin (MSA) and desmin are considered to be sensitive and specific markers for muscle differentiation. The authors compared staining patterns for these markers in 576 samples of normal, reactive, and neoplastic tissues. The standard avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex technique was performed
T Tsukada et al.
The American journal of pathology, 127(2), 389-402 (1987-05-01)
Monoclonal antibody HHF35 has previously been characterized biochemically as recognizing isotypes of actin (alpha and gamma) which are specific to muscle cells. In this study, the authors have investigated the normal and pathologic tissue distribution of HHF35-positive cells using the
A M Gown et al.
The American journal of pathology, 125(1), 191-207 (1986-10-01)
The authors have performed immunocytochemical investigations of the distribution of various cell types in human atherosclerotic plaques using monoclonal antibodies specific to smooth muscle cells (CGA7 [Gown et al, J Cell Biol 1985, 100:807-813] and HHF35 [Tsukada et al, Am
