✦ Synopsis
Recently, we have recommended imm unocytochemistty on serous effusions with the monoclonal antibodies Ber-EP4 and EMA to be used as a routine procedure. In this study, our earlier defined immunocytochemicalproJiles were tested in daily diagnostic work for a period and the profies were applicated on the corresponding cell blocks from the effusions, too, It is concluded that routine use of the benign, malignant epithelial, and malignant mesothelial immunocytochemicalprofiles is valuable and superior to cytomorphology alone. Additionally, immunocytochemical staining of smears proved slightly more sensitive than immunohistochemistry performed on sections from the cell blocks. Diagn Cytopathol
