Immunoperoxidase localization of catechol-o-methyl transferase (COMT) in human breast cancer. 1983

A M Amin, and A A Ismail

Immunoperoxidase reaction of appropriately fixed tissue with an antiserum to catechol-o-methyl transferase (COMT), as the primary step in the peroxidase-immunoglobulin bridge technique, has been utilized for the localization of COMT in biopsy specimens of human breast neoplasm and its metastases. Our immunocytochemical identification of a strong activity of COMT in all cases studied might have a diagnostic implication in breast cancer.
