Expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and significance of a macrophage assay in eosinophilic granuloma
MM Zyada - Annals of diagnostic pathology, 2009 - Elsevier
Although most cases of eosinophilic granuloma (an immune-mediated lesion) do not
behave in an aggressive manner, occasionally, recurrence after treatment has been
observed. This study aims to investigate the significance and relationship of matrix
metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and infiltration of macrophages in eosinophilic granulomas
(EGs). The immunohistochemical strept avidin-biotin complex method was used to detect the
expression of MMP-9 and CD-68 (for labeling macrophages) in 13 cases of EG. Three of …
