| P53 | |
|---|---|
| Immunostain in short | |
 p53 staining in an anaplastic astrocytoma. | |
| Use | cancer versus benign, prognostication |
| Positive | nuclear staining (>60% or completely negative - see interpretation) |
p53 marks a tumour suppressor protein commonly implicated in cancer and a common immunostain.
Interpretation
- p53 may be one of the most misinterpreted stains.
- TP53 mutations are associated with >60% staining and no staining (0% of cell labelled).[1]
- Reliable interpretation of p53 may require co-assesment of other markers.
