Immunocytochemical staining of ovarian tumours with Ov632.
Ov632 monoclonal antibody, said to be highly specific for ovarian tumour tissue, was used to stain ovarian tumour cells in a variety of specimens to determine its sensitivity. Thirteen of the 41 samples investigated were negative suggesting a low sensitivity for Ov632.
