Immunohistochemistry in Normal Skin: p63, EMA, desmin, SMA, CD34, Factor XIIIa 

A complete organized library of all my videos, digital slides, pics, & sample pathology reports is available here: kikoxp.com/posts/5084 (dermpath) & kikoxp.com/posts/5083 (bone/soft tissue sarcoma pathology).
Before you can use immunostains to help recognize different tumors and diseases in dermpath, you must first understand how they stain the normal structures in the skin. In this video we will discuss these various markers and how they are expressed in the normal skin structures:
p63 (and p40): 0:00
Epithelial membrane antigen (EMA): 3:30
Desmin: 8:22
Mast cells staining non-specifically with various IHC stains: 10:40
Smooth muscle actin (SMA): 12:00
CD34: 14:47
Factor XIIIa: 19:00
