title: [Immunohistochemistry of the human fetal mesonephros with anti-human N-myc protein antibody].
abstract: Expression of a N-myc gene has been found in Wilms' tumor. N-myc protein, which is a N-myc gene product, can be detected using an anti-N-myc antibody. Paraffin sections of the fetal tissues at the seventh week of gestation were prepared for immunohistochemistry, stained by PAP method. The N-myc gene product was observed in the cells consisting of the mesonephric ductular wall. This result may suggest that Wilms' tumor is originated from the mesonephric tissue.
