anti-human glucagon antibody 61 anti-human myeloperoxidase antibody<br />

anti-human glucagon antibody<br />

A rabbit antibody that labels A cells of the endocrine mammalian<br />

pancreas.<br />

anti-human hemoglobin<br />

A rabbit antibody against hemoglobin A isolated from<br />

erythrocytes of normal adults that reacts with hemoglobin<br />

A and, due to a common α chain, also with hemoglobin A 2<br />

and hemoglobin F.<br />

κ light chain⎯tonsil.<br />

anti-human κ light chain antibody<br />

A rabbit antibody that reacts with free κ light chains as well<br />

as κ chains in intact immunoglobulin molecules. It may be<br />

used for typing of free and bound monoclonal light chains<br />

by immunoelectrophoresis and immunofixation and for<br />

immunohistochemistry.<br />

anti-human Ki-1 antigen (CD30) antibody<br />

A mouse monoclonal antibody that reacts with a 595-amino<br />

acid transmembrane 121-kDa glycoprotein. It contains<br />

six cysteine-rich motifs in the extracellular domain and<br />

is homologous to members of the nerve growth factor<br />

receptor superfamily. The CD30 gene was assigned to<br />

the short arm of chromosome 1 at position 36. The CD30<br />

antigen was initially designated Ki-1. The antibody detects<br />

a formalin-resistant epitope on the 90-kDa precursor molecule.<br />

This molecule is processed in the Golgi system into<br />

the membrane-bound, phosphorylated, mature, 120-kDa<br />

glycoprotein and into the soluble 85-kDa form of CD30,<br />

which is released from the supernatant and appears in<br />

serum at detectable levels in conditions such as infectious<br />

mononucleosis or neoplastically amplified CD30-positive<br />

blasts. The CD30 antigen is expressed by Hodgkin and<br />

Reed–Sternberg cells in Hodgkin disease, by the tumor<br />

cells of a majority of anaplastic large cell lymphomas and<br />

by a varying proportion of activated T and B cells. It is also<br />

expressed on embryonal carcinomas.<br />

anti-human Ki-67 antibody<br />

A mouse monoclonal antibody directed against the Ki-67<br />

nuclear antigen that may be used to aid in the identification of<br />

proliferating cells in normal and neoplastic cell populations. It<br />

is intended for qualitative staining in sections of formalin-fixed,<br />

paraffin-embedded tissue (some form of antigen enhancement<br />

is required for paraffin-embedded samples), frozen tissue, and<br />

cytologic preparations. Ki-67 antibody specifically binds to<br />

nuclear antigen(s) associated with cell proliferation and present<br />

throughout the active cell cycle (G 1, S, G 2, and M phases) but<br />

absent in resting (G 0) cells. Unexpected antigen expression<br />

or loss of expression may occur, especially in neoplasms.<br />

Occasionally stromal elements surrounding heavily stained<br />

tissues and or cells will show immunoreactivity. The clinical<br />

interpretation of any staining or its absence must be complemented<br />

by morphological studies and evaluation of proper<br />

controls.<br />

anti-human λ light chain<br />

A rabbit antibody that reacts with free λ light chains as well<br />

as the λ light chains in intact immunoglobulin molecules.<br />

anti-human luteinizing hormone (LH)<br />

A rabbit antibody that labels gonadotropic cells of the<br />

pituitary. Positive staining for adenohypophyseal hormones<br />

assists in classification of pituitary tumors. Luteinizing hormone<br />

(LH) is an adenohypophyseal glycoprotein hormone<br />

found in gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary glands<br />

of most mammals. Gonadotropic cells average about 10% of<br />

anterior pituitary cells.<br />

Myeloperoxidase⎯bone marrow.<br />

anti-human myeloperoxidase antibody<br />

An antibody used to discriminate between lymphoid leukemias<br />

and myeloid leukemias in formalin-fixed, paraffinembedded<br />

tissues.<br />

Prostatic acid phosphatase (PSAP)⎯prostate.<br />
