摘要
There are two major roles for immunohistochemistry in diagnosing melanocytic lesions. The first, and presently more successful role, is that of determining the melanocytic nature of a given tumor and of excluding other non-melanocytic histologic simulants. The second role for the immunoperoxidase methodology involves helping define the potential biologic behavior of a given lesion, once its melanocytic origin has been demonstrated. This objective remains largely elusive, as will be discussed more fully below. This chapter will outline a strategy for using immunohistochemistry to characterize tumors as being of melanocytic origin, with a brief discussion of antibodies employed toward this end. Following this, antibodies directed specifically against melanoma cells, as opposed to melanocytes in general, will be discussed and evaluated. © 1991.
