Demonstration of lysozyme in primary ovarian tumors using the immunoperoxidase technique
Basic and Applied Histochemistry
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
The presence of lysozyme in ovarian tumors has been detected for the first time using the immunoperoxidase technique. A study of the distribution of this enzyme in 50 primary ovarian neoplasms revealed its presence exclusively in mucinous and mixed (serous-mucinous) cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas. The secretion of lysozyme seems to be correlated to the production of strongly acidic mucins.
