How can you use “hmb” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
During further evaluation, we confirmed that the single cells immunostained with HMB45 were mast cells and not melanophages.
Although not reported in the literature, mast cells in mastocytosis and reactive mast cells in desmoid tumors also showed immunoreactivity for HMB45 with granular cytoplasmic immunostaining pattern.
Thus, strong immunoreactivity for HMB45 rules out capsular nevus, but non-immunoreactivity may not be contributory.
Occasionaly these cells may present an interpretation challenge, but they can usually be interpreted as benign [ 6 ] . To avoid this interference by HMB45 and its lower sensitivity in general, HMB45 was not incorporated in the cocktail.
Morphology appears to be the single most important tool facilitating their correct interpretation [ 6 ] . Other approaches, including the observation that capsular nevi are non-immunoreactive or weakly immunoreactive for HMB45, have been suggested for differentiating capsular nevi from melanoma micrometastases [ 21 ] . However, it is important to note that a significant number of melanomas are also non-immunoreactive for HMB45.
