Binding of soybean agglutinin lectin to prostatic hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma.
The binding of soybean agglutinin (SBA) lectin to routinely processed surgical pathology material from cases of prostatic hyperplasia, atypical hyperplasia, and adenocarcinoma was studied using an immunoperoxidase technique. Positive staining was obtained in eight of eight cases of nodular hyperplasia, eight of eight cases of atypical hyperplasia, and ten of 11 cases of adenocarcinoma. This report indicates that this lectin is not useful in distinguishing prostatic hyperplasia from adenocarcinoma.
