Identifies a transducing-like enhancer (TLE) protein, expressed in immature epithelial cells undergoing differentiation. This antibody is a highly specific marker for synovial sarcoma and helps distinguish it from other sarcomas, including histologically similar tumors like malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor.

Unstained Slides: Recommended 2 charged slides per stain requested (minimum of 1 slide per stain), baked or unbaked.
