Immunohistochemical Staining Properties of Human Skin and Some Related Tumors^{* ,}

( Department of Biochemistry Research, Roswell park Memorial Institute, Buffalo, N.Y.)

The immunohistochemical staining properties of sera against human epidermis and a malignant melanoma were studied. Both sera stained melanoma cells, neurilemma, connective tissues, and the papillary region of skin. The sera differed, however, in that only the anti-epidermis stained epidermis, hair follicles, mucoepidermoid tumor cells, and parotid tumor cells.
