- Because it has been suggested that laminin-5 can be used as a sensitive marker for epithelial cell invasion, specimens from patients with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix with a previous history of preinvasive lesions were evaluated by a newly developed monoclonal antibody directed against the gamma2 chain of laminin-5. Thirty-two archival paraffin specimens consisting of the matched preinvasive and invasive lesions from 15 women were evaluated to determine whether gamma2 chain laminin-5 staining was present in lesions that progressed to invasive cancer.
