title: Immunohistochemistry in diagnostic neuropathology--limitations and interpretations.
abstract: Immunohistochemistry is widely used for diagnostic neuropathology, but contrary to some anxieties--it is not method which may replace an experienced pathologist. On the contrary--only an experienced pathologist may use this method safely. If the differential diagnosis is wrong, the results may be misleading. Similarly, the specificity of used antibodies does not guarantee the clearcut differentiation.
