Description |
NSE is specifically detected in neurons and neurodendocrine cells, and their corresponding tumors. Anti-NSE antibody is a useful marker for identification of peripheral nerves, neural and neuroendocrine tumors, such as neuroblastomas, retinoblastomas, desmoplastic melanoma, and small cell lung carcinoma when used with a panel of antibodies (e.g. keratin, chromgranin A, synaptophysin, and neurofilaments). |
