Abstract

The clinical use of immunohistochemical staining is helpful to characterize the lesional cells and determine the site of origin. This chapter summarizes the staining pattern and expression of immunohistochemical stains in normal or benign tissue cells. Some commonly encountered infections and crystals are also described in table form.
