Malignant cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. A few cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and duct carcinoma of breast exhibited strong positivity. Several cases of malignant gliomas and lymphomas were weakly stained or negative.
Urothelial cancers along with a few cases of renal, lung, colorectal and breast cancers showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity with additional membranous staining. A few cases of squamous cell carcinomas, liver, prostate, ovarian, testicular and pancreatic cancers displayed moderate positivity. Remaining malignant cells were negative.

H1P, IATIH, ITIH
Description
Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the heavy chain of the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor complex, which is secreted by hepatocytes into the blood. The heavy chain also interacts with hyaluronan, and this interaction may play a role in ovulation and fertilization, and has been implicated in multiple inflammatory diseases. This gene is present in a gene cluster on chromosome 3. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
