Utility of anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis antibody (ab905) for detection of mycobacterial antigens in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from clinically and histologically suggestive extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases
Background: The detection of acid-fast bacilli in extrapulmonary tissue samples is challenging due to its paucibacillary nature. The present study assessed the utility of immunohistochemistry (IHC) using anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis antibody (ab905) for detecting the presence of mycobacterial ant...
