Abstract
A proper antibody panel selection is one of the most important factors to reach an adequate diagnosis in challenging cases. This retrospective study was designed to determine the contribution of immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the primary diagnosis of oral diseases in one of the main services of oral pathology in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, and to identify the most common antibodies used, and recommend diagnostic algorithms based on our experience with challenging lesions. A total of 1698 IHC stains were performed in 401 cases from a total of 28,804 cases received from public dental clinics and private dental practitioners within a period of 13 years, representing a frequency of 1.4% of IHC solicitations. Among these, 112 (28%) were mandatory to reach a final diagnosis and 255 (63.6%) were confirmative. In 34 (8.4%) cases, it was not possible to reach a conclusive/final diagnosis, even with IHC. Regarding the nature of the lesions, 210 (52.3%) were benign, 163 (40.6%) were malignant tumors, 13 (3.2%) were reactive, 10 (2.5%) were premalignant, and 5 (1.2%) were lesions of uncertain malignancy. Small amount of tissue of some incisional biopsies, overlapping features of spindle cell lesions (epithelial, neural, melanocytic, smooth muscle, endothelial, and fibroblastic/myofibroblastic cell differentiation), and overlapping features of salivary gland lesions were the most frequent challenges in which IHC stains were requested. Spindle cell lesions were the most frequent (22%) among all cases that required IHC to reach a final diagnosis. The implementation of IHC for routine practice requires a wide range of markers, proper antibody selection, and knowledge to interpret the subjectivity of staining. The inherent limitation of incisional biopsies was pointed as a reason to inconclusive diagnosis, despite a wide range of antibodies that our laboratory displays.

Abstract
The 2008 World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues defines current standards of practice for the diagnosis and classification of malignant lymphomas and related entities. More than 50 different types of lymphomas are described. Faced with such a broad range of different lymphomas, some encountered only rarely, and a rapidly growing armamentarium of 80 or more pertinent immunohistochemical (IHC) "stains," the challenge to the pathologist is to use IHC in an efficient manner to arrive at an assured and timely diagnosis. This review uses deductive reasoning following a decision tree or dendrogram model, combining basic morphologic patterns and common IHC markers to classify node-based malignancies by the World Health Organization schema. The review is divided into 2 parts, the first addressing those lymphomas that produce a follicular or nodular pattern of lymph nodal involvement appeared in the previous issue of AIMM. The second part addresses diffuse proliferations in lymph nodes. Emphasis is given to the more common lymphomas and the more commonly available IHC "stains" for a pragmatic and practical approach that is both broadly feasible and cost-effective. By this method, an assured diagnosis may be reached in the majority of nodal lymphomas, at the same time developing a sufficiency of data to recognize those rare or atypical cases that require referral to a specialized center.

Abstract
This study reports cytomorphological, histomorphological, and immunological characterization of 608 biopsy cases of canine malignant lymphoma, with epidemiological and clinical data, collected from 7 French veterinary pathology laboratories. It compares morphological characteristics of malignant lymphoma in canines, per the updated Kiel classification system, with those reported in humans, per the World Health Organization (WHO) classification system. Of tumors described, 24.5% and 75.5% were classified as low- and high-grade malignant lymphomas, respectively. Presenting clinical signs included generalized or localized lymphadenopathy (82.4%) and extranodal diseases (17.6%) involving the skin (12.34%) and other sites (5.26%). Immunohistochemistry confirmed 63.8% B-cell (CD3–, CD79a+), 35.4% T-cell (CD3+, CD79a–), and 0.8% null-cell (CD3–, CD79a–) lymphomas. Most B-cell cases (38.49%) were of high-grade centroblastic polymorphic subtype; most T-cell cases (8.55%), high-grade pleomorphic mixed and large T-cell lymphoma subtypes. Some B-cell tumors showed morphologic characteristics consistent with follicular lymphomas and marginal zone lymphomas per the Revised European American Classification of Lymphoid Neoplasms and WHO canine classification systems and the WHO human classification system. Unusual high-grade B-cell subtypes included an atypical high-grade small B-cell lymphoma (0.66%), Burkitt-type B-cell lymphoma (1.64%), plasmacytoid lymphoma (0.99%), and mediastinal anaplastic large B-cell lymphoma (0.16%). Unusual T-cell subtypes included a previously undescribed high-grade canine immunoblastic T-cell type (1.15%), a rare low-grade prolymphocytic T-cell lymphoma (0.16%), and a recently described high-grade canine T-cell entity—aggressive granulocytic large-cell lymphoma (0.16%). Marginal zone lymphomas were common (10.86%); follicular lymphomas were rare (0.49%). Canine primary cutaneous malignant lymphoma subtypes were present (11.84%). There was no significant difference between B- and T-cell malignant lymphoma in regard to canine age and sex. A significant overrepresentation of Boxers (24.19%) was found for T-cell lymphomas.

Abstract
AbstractContext.—Beginning with the immunologic classifications of Lukes and Collins and Kiel and culminating in the Revised European-American Lymphoma and World Health Organization classifications, the diagnosis of lymphoid tumors relies heavily on the determination of cell lineage, maturation, and function, based on antigen expression in addition to morphology and clinical features. Technologic advances in immunology, antibody production, genetic analysis, cloning, and the identification of new genes and proteins by microarray and proteomics have provided pathologists with many antibodies to use in routine diagnosis.Objective.—To provide guidance to the practicing pathologist in the appropriate selection of an antibody panel for the diagnosis of lymphoma based on morphology and relevant clinical data and to avoid pitfalls in the interpretation of immunohistochemical data. Attention is given to some of the newer antibodies, particularly against transcription factors, that are diagnostically and prognostically useful.Data Sources.—The information presented in this article is based on review of the literature using the OVID database (Ovid MEDLINE 1950 to present with daily update) and 20 years of experience in diagnostic hematopathology.Conclusions.—Immunophenotyping is required for the diagnosis and classification of lymphoid malignancies. Many paraffin-reactive antibodies are available to the pathologist but most are not specific. To avoid diagnostic pitfalls, interpretation of marker studies must be based on a panel and knowledge of a particular antigen's expression in normal, reactive, and neoplastic conditions.

Abstract
The catalyzed signal amplification (CSA) technique, based on the peroxidase-mediated deposition of haptenized tyramide and also known as tyramide signal amplification and catalyzed reportor deposition systems, is widely accepted as a signal amplification method for immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. In this study, we examined the applicability of a new simplified CSA system employing fluorescyl-tyramide (FT) to pathologic testing and research with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. By using the FT, instead of biotinyl-tyramide (BT) that is commonly employed in the CSA system with chromogen, nonspecific staining caused by endogenous biotin was completely avoided. The FT-CSA system loaded on the automated immunostaining equipment also allowed for more reproducible detection in short times. When applied to cyclin D1 immunostaining that is important in differentiation among small B-cell lymphomas, the system was useful in demonstrating its protein expression in mantle cell lymphomas considered negative or equivocally positive for cyclin D1 in a conventional immunodetection. In immunohistochemistry for phosphorylated proteins and murine hematologic markers that often require higher sensitivity than conventional methods, the FT-CSA system provided desirable staining results with intense signal amplification. Our results indicate that the simplified CSA system employing the FT can be useful in enlarging the target range for routine immunohistochemistry due to its high applicability.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of DPC4 gene on invasion and metastasis of colorectal carcinoma cells, the expression of DPC4 was detected in sixty-three samples of colorectal tumors and seven cases of colorectal mucosa. The biological behavior of tumors expressing DPC4 was evaluated (including tumor staging, differentiation degree and metastasis). pcDNA3.1-DPC4 plasmid was constructed and transferred into HCT116 cells not expressing DPC4. The cell models (DPC4(+)-HCT116) steadily expressing DPC4 were obtained. Compared with HCT116 and pcDNA3.1-HCT116 cells, the doubling time of DPC4(+)-HCT116 cells was lengthened obviously (P<0.01), the apoptosis rate of DPC4(+)-HCT116 cells was significantly increased (PP<0.01), the cloning efficiency, cell adherency, migration and invasion ability of DPC4+-HCT116 cells were dropped obviously (P<0.01). The number of cancer nodules was decreased significantly in abdominal cavity and liver of the nude mice inoculated with DPC4(+)-HCT116 cells. The activity of MMP-9 and MMP-2 was detected by gelatin zymography. In comparison with HCT116 and pcDNA3.1-HCT116 cells, the activity of MMP-9 was decreased in DPC4(+)-HCT116 cells. Therefore, the down-regulation of DPC4 expression may be associated with the carcinogenesis of colorectal carcinoma. DPC4 may inhibit the proliferation of colon cancer cell by restraining growth and inducing apoptosis, and the invasion and metastasis of colorectal carcinoma cells. MMP-9 may be one of the downstream target genes regulated by DPC4.
