Myoepithelial Cell Markers (MEC) used in breast pathology:
S100 | Less sensitive and less specific for MEC's | |
SMA | Good staining of MEC's, but substantial staining of myofibroblasts | |
CK5/14 | Good staining of MEC's. Be aware that acinar cells (close proximity to MEC's) are stained as well | |
Calponin | Specific to smooth muscle, but stains high percentage of myofibroblasts (76%) | 22Immunohistochemical distinction of invasive from noninvasive breast lesions: a comparative study of p63 versus calponin and smooth muscle myosin heavy chain. : Am J Surg Pathol. 27:82-90 2003 |
SMMS-1 | Specific to smooth muscle, stains 8% of myofibroblasts | |
p63 | Stains myoepithelium, but sometimes discontinuous epithelial layer, ánd reacts with a subset of breast tumor cells | |
SMMS-1/ p40 | cocktail of these antibodies to easily identify difficult cases |
