Hyalinizing trabecular tumour (HTT) immunohistochemically shows cell membranous immunoreactivity for MIB-1. This aberrant immunoreactivity is an important factor for the diagnosis of HTT. However, fully automated stainers frequently fail to confirm the immunoreactivity. The aim of this study is to investigate the cause of false negative cell membranous immunoreactivity for MIB-1 in HTT using fully automated stainers, to determine potential reasons for the problem, and to establish methods confirming cell membranous immunoreactivity for MIB-1 in HTT. Six participating institutions examined immunoreactivity for MIB-1 in 10 HTT cases using two approaches: fully automated and semi-automated methods. In the latter, antigen retrieval was carried out using manual methods adopted for routine assays at each institute. The autostainers used included the BOND-MAX, BOND-III, Benchmark XT, and Omnis systems. Using fully automated methods, institute E showed cell membranous MIB-1 positivity in all HTT cases. In contrast, at institute D, all HTT cases were negative. The positive rates of the remaining four institutes ranged from 10% to 20%. The incidence of positive cases using semi-automated methods was 100%, 90%, 90%, 30%, 80%, and 100% at institutes A, B, C, D, E, and F, respectively. We assert that antigen retrieval should be conducted manually for diagnosis of HTT; furthermore, definitively diagnosed HTT should be prepared as the external positive control.
