XXXX deaminase complexing protein (ADCP) immunoreactivity in @entity14 .

@entity1 @entity859 @entity5 @entity189 @entity787 @entity14
Immunoreactive @entity859 deaminase complexing protein (ADCP) was studied in 91 @entity1 @entity14 . The expression of ADCP was correlated with that of secretory component (SC) and @entity787 ( @entity787 ), with the histological grade and the @entity5 . The histological grade was scored semi-quantitatively according to 5 structural and 4 cytological variables. ADCP expression was observed in 3 different staining patterns, namely: (1) diffuse cytoplasmic (77% of the @entity189 ); (2) granular cytoplasmic (13%); and (3) membrane-associated (66%). These patterns were observed alone or in combination. Eleven percent of the @entity189 exhibited no ADCP immunoreactivity. Linear regression analysis showed that the expression of ADCP correlates with that of SC and @entity787 . However, no significant correlation emerged between the histological parameters or the Dukes' stage and any of the immunohistological parameters. Comparison of the histological characteristics of @entity189 exhibiting little or no ADCP immunoreactivity with those showing extensive immunoreactivity, showed that membranous ADCP immunoreactivity occurs more frequently in well-differentiated @entity189 . Structural parameters showed a better correlation with membranous ADCP expression than the cytological variables. It is concluded that membranous expression of ADCP and @entity787 are indicators of a high level of differentiation as reflected primarily in the structural characteristics of the @entity5 .
