HepPar1
Use
Anti‑Hepatocyte Specific Antigen (HepPar1) recognizes both benign and malignant liver‑derived tumors such as hepatoblastoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatic adenoma. It recognizes both adult and fetal liver tissue. The typical pattern is a granular cytoplasmic staining. This antibody is useful in differentiating hepatocellular carcinomas from adenocarcinomas, either primary or metastatic. HepPar1 also can be used in differential diagnostic separation of hepatoblastoma versus other small round cell tumors. HepPar1 is also expressed in a subset of gastric carcinoma.
