Although immunohistochemistry on formalin\u2010fixed paraffin\u2010embedded tissues is standardized, there are multiple preparation methods and fixatives for cytology. Our objective was to investigate the effect of different common fixatives on the immunoreactivity of pleural effusion CBs with metastatic lung adenocarcinomas.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This prospective study included 24 malignant pleural effusions from different patients with lung adenocarcinoma. From each case, four identical CBs were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, PreservCyt, CytoLyt, and CytoRich Red (only 17 of the cases), respectively. Samples containing &lt;100 malignant cells were excluded. All CBs were stained with thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF\u20101; clones 8G7G3\/1 and SPT24), napsin A, claudin 4, CEA, CK7, and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM; clones BS14, Ber\u2010Ep4, and MOC\u201031). The fraction and intensity of stained cells were evaluated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the investigated markers, a significant difference in staining proportion was seen for TTF\u20101 clone 8G7G3\/1 and EpCAM clone MOC\u201031, especially with cases being negative in CytoLyt (33.3% and 83.3% positive, respectively) and PreservCyt (62.5% and 83.3%) whereas being positive in CytoRich Red (76.5% and 94.1%) and formalin (both 95.8%). A significantly weaker intensity of staining was seen for all alcohol\u2010based fixatives compared to formalin for TTF\u20101 clone 8G7G3\/1, napsin A, and EpCAM clone MOC\u201031, whereas EpCAM clone Ber\u2010Ep4 was significantly weaker only in PreservCyt compared with formalin.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Immunocytochemical expression and concordance with formalin\u2010fixed CBs differ depending on the used fixative as well as the antibody and clone, warranting investigation of the reliability of each biomarker for non\u2013formalin\u2010fixed cytology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/cncy.22833","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,3]],"date-time":"2024-06-03T12:49:43Z","timestamp":1717418983000},"page":"569-579","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The impact of different fixatives on immunostaining of lung adenocarcinomas in pleural effusion cell blocks"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"132","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0271-3659","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammed S.
