[Immunohistochemistry and genotype analysis of tumors. First part: Which future for the immunochemical diagnosis of cancer?].

Abstract excerpt

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a rapid morphological method that allows the detection of proteins involved in different mechanisms of cancer development. It is therefore a useful tool in the study of cancerogenesis. The best known example is the product of the p53 gene, a tumour suppressor gene which is altered in 50% of all human tumors. In fact, these p53 gene mutations lead to cell protein accumulation whereas...
