Measurement of Ki-67 antigen in 159 pituitary adenomas using the MIB-1 monoclonal antibody

Pituitary adenomas sometimes show rapid growth and recurrence, and about one third invade the structures surrounding the sella turcica. In an attempt to determine aggressive behavior at an early stage, we used the MIB-1 antibody to identify the Ki-67 antigen. The present study was designed to evalua...
