Immunocytochemical evidence of progesterone receptors in human meningiomas.
The presence of progesterone receptors in meningioma tissue is demonstrated by use of highly specific monoclonal antibodies against the rabbit progesterone receptors which cross-react with human progesterone receptors in breast cancer cells, thus giving evidence of the existence of genuine progesterone receptors in human meningiomas.
