Abstract:
Expression of gamma interferon (IFN-?)-like substance in adrenal pheochromocytoma was investigated with immunohistochemical technique. In 15 out of the 16 cases of adrenal pheochromocytoma positive IFN-@-like immunoreactive substance was detected in the cytoplasm of the tumor cells, whereas in adrenal tissues adjacent to adrenal tumors in 26 cases (pheochromocytoma 12, adrenal corti-col tumors 12, others 2) only two with pheochromocytoma showed positive IFN-?-like immunoreactive substance in the cytoplasm of zona reticularis cells. The results suggest that IFN-? may be a kind of antigen associated with differentiation of cell.
