Example sentences for: immunomarkers
How can you use “immunomarkers” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of detecting and interpreting micrometastases in the sentinel lymph nodes of patients with cutaneous melanoma utilizing this cocktail in a single section instead of three adjacent sections needing each of the three immunomarkers in the cocktail.
We designated this combination after our institution as 'MCW melanoma cocktail' [ 6 14 ] . Hypothetically, due to the immunoreactivity of the cocktail towards three epitopes of two antigens in the same tissue section, combined use of these immunomarkers should increase the sensitivity while still maintaining their individual high specificity.
However, as demonstrated in our previous study, it is not uncommon to face an equivocal situation when S-100 protein is used as an immunomarker for the interpretation of single melanoma micrometastases in sentinel lymph nodes [ 6 ] . Based on our previous study with HMB45 [ 6 ] and an initial study with micropthalmia transcription factor [ 22 ] , these immunomarkers were not considered suitable for inclusion in the cocktail due to the immunoreactivity of non-melanoma cells in the sentinel lymph nodes.
Non-immunoreactivity of special variants of melanoma to various melanoma immunomarkers is a challenge.
To evaluate the exact impact of the cocktail in comparison to all of its component immunomarkers individually for evaluation of sentinel lymph nodes, additional studies dedicated to comparison of individual component immunomarkers with the cocktail may be called for.
