Pathological significance of investigating FasL in 47 cases of thyroid adenocarcinoma / 重庆医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the expression of FasL and its significance in thyroid adenocarcinomas. Methods: Immunohis-tochemical staining(S- P method) was used to detect expression of FasL in formalin - fixed and paraffin - embeded tissues from 27 cases of thyroid papillary adenocarcinomas(TPA) ,20 medullary carcinomas(MC)and 12 normal thyroid tissues. The relationship between the thyroid adenocarcinomas and the positive rates of FasL expression was analyzed. Results: FasL had various degrees of expression in TPA.The positive rate of high FasL expression was 81. 8% in group B,31. 2% in group A, with a significant difference of P
