Anti-Lysozyme stains myeloid cells, histiocytes, granulocytes, macrophages, and monocytesin human tonsil, colon, and skin. It is an important marker that may demonstrate the myeloidor monocytic nature of acute leukemia. The restrictive nature of anti-Lysozyme antibody staining suggests that lysozyme may be synthesized predominantly in reactive histiocytes rather than in resting, unstimulated phagocytes. It has not been determined whether lysozyme stains any other cell or tissue type. Anti-Lysozyme may aid in the identification of histiocytic neoplasias, large lymphocytes and classifying lymphoproliferative disorders.
