title: [Immunohistochemical Study of 3-methylcholanthrene inducible cytochrome P-450 in the stomach and liver--a guide of postoperative chemotherapy in gastric cancer].
abstract: Immunohistochemical determination of 3-methylcholanthrene (MC) inducible cytochrome P-450 (MC-P-450) was investigated in rat and human tissue, and its clinical availability was discussed. Induced by MC, MC-P-450 in rat liver and stomach was well stained immunohistochemically, showing clear contrast against control without induction. The staining intensity in the tissue was correlated with the amount of tissue MC-P-450 which was determined previously by electrophoretical and biochemical technics. By the same immunohistochemical method MC-P-450 in human liver and stomach was also detectable. The staining grade of MC-P-450 in human liver and stomach was different from each person. However, its intensities in liver and stomach in the same individual showed clear correlation with p less than 0.02. Since MC-P-450 in liver plays a major role in drug metabolism, the proof of correlation between staining degree of the resected stomach and hepatic tissue would provide useful clue in gastric cancer for postoperative administration of masked compounds activated by MC-P-450.
