  • Title: Immuno-histological localization of tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) in gynecological malignancies.
    Author: Ikarashi T, Takeuchi S, Sudo N, Ueda M, Furuya M.
    Journal: Nihon Sanka Fujinka Gakkai Zasshi; 1985 Oct; 37(10):2117-20. PubMed ID: 3908587.
    Abstract:
    The presence of Tissue Polypeptide Antigen (TPA) was demonstrated by immunohistochemical techniques in various specimens of gynecological malignancies as well as uterine precancerous lesions and trophoblastic disease. In 82 cases, the overall positive rate for staining was 49%. The relationship between the histological progress of malignancy and the positive rate for TPA was not confirmed, nor was the positive rate directly proportional to the histological typings. A serum TPA level of 160 U/l was considered to be the critical level of immunohistological positivity.
