Blood group isoantigen expression during tumour progression of cervical neoplasia.
Twenty-nine cases of microinvasive squamous and 38 cases of progression from preinvasive to invasive carcinoma of the cervix were immunostained with monoclonal antibodies against blood group isoantigens for expression in normal, dysplastic and neoplastic epithelium. The results show a varying staining pattern without correlation to tumour progression, recurrence or survival.
