Background: Minichromosome maintenance protein 6 (MCM6) is one of the six proteins of minichromosome maintenance family that are involved in the initiation of DNA replication and thus represent a marker for proliferating cells. The aim of this study was to determine the proliferation characteristics of neoplastic cells in patients with classic Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Methods: Paraffin-embedded blocks of lymph node, mediastinal, subcutaneous chest wall, and lung mass biopsies of 55 patients with classic Hodgkin's lymphoma were immunostained by the proliferation-associated monoclonal antibodies; Ki-S5 (Ki-67 antigen) and Ki-MCM6 (MCM6 antigen).

The distinction between chondrosarcoma and enchondroma is difficult, and no reliable immunohistochemical or molecular methods are available. Differentiation is important because the therapeutic consequences range from radiologic followup to radical operation. We studied 17 chondrosarcomas (12 grade 1) and compared them with 14 enchondromas immunohistochemically by using the monoclonal antibodies Ki-MCM6 (minichromosome maintenance protein 6), Ki-S5 (Ki-67), and Ki-S2 (repp86), in addition to the established clinical criteria.
