Immunohistochemical staining of medulloblastomas. Medulloblastoma
samples were stained with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) MA454 (to
MAGEA1), M3H67 (to MAGEA3/6), 57B (to MAGEA4), CT7-33 (to
MAGEC1), CT10#5 (to MAGEC2), and #23 (to GAGE).
Low power view of weak mAb MA454 staining (A) of case #10,
with transition of immunopositive and negative (*) tumor
areas and cytoplasmic staining (B) of tumor cells. Area with nuclear
mAb M3H67 staining of most tumor cells (C) and only occasional nuclear
immunoreactivity in a different area (D) of medulloblastoma case #5.
Low power view of immunostaining with mAb 57B in medulloblastoma #10,
with heterogeneously positive area (E) displaying exclusive nuclear
immunoreactivity (F). Low power view of medulloblastoma #17,
with foci of CT7-33 staining (G) resembling focal accumulations
of tumor cells (H), here with mostly cytoplasmic and only occasional
nuclear immunostaining (thick black arrows). Nuclear immunostaining
of scattered tumor cells (I) with mAb CT10#5, forming small
immunopositive foci in medulloblastoma case #17 (J). Overview
of mAb #23 immunopositive area in a mostly immunonegative
(*) medulloblastoma #13 (K), revealing cytoplasmic
and nuclear staining (L).
