MyoD1
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
Nuclear expression of myogenic differentiation 1 (MyoD1) is restricted to skeletal muscle tissue and has been demonstrated to be a sensitive marker of myogenic differentiation. The antibody strongly labels the nuclei of myoblasts in developing skeletal muscle tissue, whereas the majority of adult skeletal muscle is negative. MyoD1 immunostaining has been demonstrated in the majority of rhabdomyosarcomas of various histological subtypes.
