Detecting malignant cells in the setting of reactive mesothelium can be difficult. Several techniques have been tried but without widespread acceptance. Sialosyl-Tn (STn) is an aberrantly glycosylated precursor of the MN blood group antigen frequently expressed in carcinomas and dysplastic epithelium. We investigated the STn monoclonal antibody for its clinical utility as an isolated stain to discriminate benign mesothelium from malignant cells.
