TL;DR

The monoclonal antibody Ki-67 was found to be a handy and reliable tool for improved grading of bone tumors and compatible with flow cytometric and autoradiographic studies on similar tumor entities.

Abstract

A total of 60 bone tumors and tumor-like lesions presenting various grades of malignancy were investigated immunohistologically with the monoclonal antibody Ki-67 directed against a cell proliferation-associated nuclear antigen. The results obtained agree well with those of flow cytometric and autoradiographic studies on similar tumor entities. The monoclonal antibody Ki-67 was found to be a handy and reliable tool for improved grading of bone tumors.
