  • Title: S-100 protein expression in satellite and Schwann cells in neuroblastoma. An immunohistochemical and ultrastructural study.

    Abstract:
    Immunohistochemical evidence has recently been provided that in the normal adrenal medulla as well as in autonomic ganglia, satellite cells and Schwann cells react with S-100 protein antiserum. In the light of these data, we investigated primary peripheral neuroblastoma and ganglioneuroblastoma to determine firstly whether both cell populations actually exist in the malignancies, using the definite criteria of electron microscopy for their identification, and secondly whether they express S-100 protein using on immunohistochemical technique and light microscopy. The results indicate that in both neuroblastoma variants, satellite and Schwann cells are present and specifically express the S-100 antigen.
