The mature eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A contains the unusual amino acid hypusine, formed post-translationally from a specific lysine residue and essential for proliferation of eukaryotic cells. We hypothesized that the major eIF5A isoform, eIF5A-1, is an in situ biomarker for proliferation. NIH-353, a polyclonal immunoreagent specific for hypusine-containing eIF5A-1, was used to test this proposal in biopsies of vulvar high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN), characterized by the presence of proliferating cells throughout the thickness of the epithelium. Methods. Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded archival samples with an independently established diagnosis of VIN 3 were stained immunohistochemically after antigen retrieval, employing NIH-353 and, for comparison, the standard Ki-67 antibody.
