[Anti-macrophage monoclonal antibody D-11 in the diagnosis of histiocytic tumors].
Anti-macrophage monoclonal antibody (Mab) D-11 was tested in surgical material and biopsies of non-epithelial tumors and tumor-like lesions from 181 patients in order to assess possibility of using this Mab for diagnosis of histiocytic tumors, malignant fibrous histiocytoma in particular. The study was performed in parallel on cryostat sections and smears by immuno-peroxidase method. It is established that D-11 reacts positively with both histiocytic tumors and tumors of other genesis this being a limiting factor in differential diagnosis of histiocytic tumors. However, taking into consideration 100% of positive results with histiocytic tumors only, this antibody can be used for exclusion of tumors studied from the group of histiocytomas in cases of negative reaction.
