IHC of Histone H3 on an FFPE Breast Carcinoma Tissue
Intended Use | For In Vitro Diagnostic Use | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Summary and Explanation | Phosphohistone-H3 is one of the five main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N-terminal tail, H3 is involved with the structure of the nucelosomes of the “beads on a string” structure. In mammalian cells, phosphohistone H3 is negligible during interphase but reaches a maximum for chromatin condensation during mitosis. Phosphohistone-H3 can serve as a mitotic marker to separate mitotic figures from apoptotic bodies and karyorrhectic debris, which may be a very useful tool in diagnosis of tumor grades, especially in CNS, skin, Gyn., soft tissue, and GIST. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
