Prostate - Moderate intensity Cystatin A staining of basal cells.
Rectum, mucosa
Seminal vesicle - Weak to moderate intensity Cystatin A staining of basal cells.
Sinus paranasales
Skeletal muscle
Skin - Cystatin A immunostaining is nuclear and cytoplasmic. It predominates in the granular cell layer and decreases towards the basal cell layer
Spleen - Weak Cystatin A immunostaining in granulocytes.
Stomach, antrum - Faint basal cytoplasmic Cystatin A immunostaining of surface epithelial cells.
Stomach, corpus - Faint basal cytoplasmic Cystatin A immunostaining of surface epithelial cells
Sublingual gland - Weak to moderate Cystatin A staining in myoepithelial cells and some mucinous glands.
Testis
Thymus - Strong Cystatin A immunostaining of a fraction of cells in corpuscles of Hassall’s.
Thyroid gland
Tonsil - Strong Cystatin A immunostaining of crypt epithelium and of dendritic cells. Adjacent lymphocytes also show weak staining. This may represent a tissue contamination due to the very high levels of target protein in this tissue sample.
Tonsil, surface epithelium - Intense Cystatin A immunostaining occurs across all epithelial cell layers. A weaker staining is also seen in subepithelial inflammatory cells and endothelia of subepithelial vessels. Endothelial cell staining is only seen in vessels adjacent to strongly positive epithelial tissues.
Tonsil, surface epithelium - Intense Cystatin A immunostaining occurs across all epithelial cell layers. A weaker staining is also seen in subepithelial inflammatory cells. This may represent tissue contamination in case of very high levels of target protein or cystatin A secretion.
