Orderable Test Description
Monoclonal antibody MOC31 recognizes a membrane glycoprotein of 40kDa present on epithelial cells but not on mesothelial cells. MOC31 reacts with most adenocarcinomas of various origins, typically with strong staining pattern. Only rare cases of mesotheliomas show focal or weak staining. MOC31 antibody does not label liver as well as hepatocellular carcinoma, therefore, it will be helpful in the differential diagnosis of liver metastases versus hepatocellular carcinomas.
