Abstract:
Expression of transferrin receptor was examined by means of an immunohistochemical method and DNA cytometry in tumor cells was assayed by image analysis technique in 32 cases with pleomorphic ade- noma of lacrimal gland.Transferrin receptor was positive in 8.The DNA content of some tumors was increased,the DNA distribution pattern showed two or several peaks,good correlation has been found between DNA distribution pattern and the expression of transferrin receptor,and the DNA distribution pattern of tumors with the expression of transferrin receptor showed mainly two or several peaks.It maybe suggest that expression of transferrin receptor be related to the proliferative nature of the tumor.
