Abstract
In several reviews (Nadji 1980; Walts and Said 1983; Koss 1984; Chess and Hajdu 1986) the considerable value of the application of immunocytochemical methods in cytology (ICC) has been indicated. However, despite the high number of reports focused on the application of ICC as a diagnostic tool it did not have the enormous practical impact of immunohistochemistry. This may be due to methodological difficulties and the existence of a vast number of different protocols for fixation and storage and the different immunocytochemical techniques used for cytological preparations. Because of inaccuracies in the descriptions of fixation and processing of cell preparations in many papers on ICC, a comparison of data obtained by different authors is impossible or at least questionable.
