## Background: The finding that lupus anticoagulant (la) is significantly associated with anti-phosphatidylethanolamine (pe) activity has led to great interest in its relation to the clinical features of the antiphospholipid syndrome (aps). considerable variability has, however, been reported in th

โฆ Synopsis
Background: To develop a supplementary diagnostic method for endometrial cancer by measuring the reactivity of various endometrial lesions with two monoclonal antibodies. Methods: We investigated the reactivity of various endometrial lesions with two monoclonal antibodies (MSN-1 and MSN-3) by flow cytometry (one-color and two-color methods).
Results:
The two-color method appeared to be suitable for use in place of simultaneous performance of the one-color methods with MSN-1 and MSN-3. The positivity rate for normal endometrium was 16.0% with the twocolor method, which was lower than the rate of 30.0% obtained with concomitant used of the one-color meth-ods. The positivity rate for endometrial cancer was high, 84.0%, with the two-color method. The positivity rate was 85.7% for well-differentiated endometrial cancer, 71.4% for moderately differentiated cancer, and 100.0% for poorly differentiated cancer; thus, the rate was high irrespective of the cellular differentiation. Conclusions: The two-color method is more useful than the one-color method as a supplementary diagnostic procedure for endometrial cancer. Cytometry 36: 150-156, 1999. 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
