Lysozyme (Muramidase)

Antigen Background

Intracellular muramidase, also known as lysozyme, has been reported to be expressed in myeloid and monocytic cells, in leukocytes and in myelo-proliferative disorders. Muramidase is also reported to be expressed in poorly differentiated leukemic monoblasts.

Disclaimer

Lysozyme (Muramidase) is recommended for the detection of specific antigens of interest in normal and neoplastic tissues, as an adjunct to conventional histopathology using non-immunologic histochemical stains.
