General description

Anti-fascin is a very sensitive marker for Reed-Sternberg cells and variants in nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, and lymphocyte depletion Hodgkin disease. It is uniformly negative in lymphoid cells, plasma cells, and myeloid cells. Anti-fascin is positive in dendritic cells. This marker may be helpful to distinguish between Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma in difficult cases. Also, the lack of expression of fascin in the neoplastic follicles in follicular lymphoma can be helpful in distinguishing these lymphomas from reactive follicular hyperplasia in which the number of follicular dendritic cells is normal or increased.

Immunoreactivity for fascin, an actin-bundling protein related to cell motility, has been reported in breast, ovary, pancreas, skin, and non-small cell carcinomas, and associated with more advanced disease stage and poorer prognosis. Data on pulmonary neuroendocrine (NE) tumors, however, are

Fascin bundles actin microfilaments within dynamic cellular structures such as microspikes, stress fibers and membrane ruffles. Fascin overexpression induces membrane protrusions and increased cell motility, and is highly expressed in various transformed cells, and in specialized normal cells including neuronal

Immunohistochemical localization of human fascin, a distinct 55-kd actin-bundling protein, was determined for a wide variety of lymphoid tissues (364 specimens total). In non-neoplastic tissues, reactivity was highly selective and localized predominantly in dendritic cells. In the thymus, this protein
