Summary & Explanation
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Fascin is a 55 kDa protein, plays a key role in cell migration and cancer metastasis by bundling actin filaments into parallel, stable structures. Fascin-1 is the most common type and widely expressed in various tissues. Fascin-1 is present in specialized cells with extensive surfaces or migratory potential, such as neurons, glia, dendritic cells, macrophages, skeletal and smooth muscle, endothelial cells; but not in normal epithelial cells. Fascin is also expressed in Reed Sternberg cells in Hodgkin’s lymphoma."}]}]}
Presentation
Five slides of Fascin positive tissues, each mounted on Hydrophilic Plus Slides, provided in a plastic mailer.
Principle of Procedure
Control slides are Hydrophilic Plus Slides with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue or cell sections mounted on them, serving as a tool to qualitatively verify the performance of immunohistochemical staining
