antidesmosomal monoclonal antibody in the diagnosis of intracranial tumours.immunocytochemistry has been applied extensively to the diagnosis of intracranial tumours, but meningiomas still present a diagnostic problem. however, desmosomes have been shown by electron microscopy to be present in meningiomas, and this distinguishes them from gliomas. this paper describes a new monoclonal antibody, 11-5f, against desmosomal proteins 1 and 2 (desmoplakins) and assesses its usefulness in the diagnosis of meningiomas and other intracranial tumours. a total of 74 surgically rem ...20123323433
