Summary & Explanation
{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Tumor-associated glycoprotein 72 (TAG-72) has been shown to be expressed in a wide variety of epithelial malignant tissues. TAG-72 antigen is a high molecular glycoprotein found on the surface of many cancer cells, including breast, colon and pancreatic cells. It is present in human adenocarcinomas and in lesser amounts, non-neoplastic tissues. According to literature the majority of human adenocarcinomas display some cell populations that are positive for TAG-72."}]}]}
Presentation
Five slides of TAG-72 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
