Abstract excerpt
We aimed to immunohistochemically examine the expression of KIT (CD 117) in human posterior uveal melanoma and to analyze KIT-positive tumors for gene mutations. Brought into a tissue microarray (TMA) format were 101 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded posterior uveal melanomas. Immunohistochemistry was performed using the polyclonal anti-CD117 antibody from Dako (A4502). In ten selected KIT-positive tumors, exons...
