The choice of fixative has a demonstrable effect on the immunoreactivity of INSM1 in PanNET. Even though the sensitivity is lower in CytoLyt®-fixed cell block specimens, the addition of INSM1 is useful, especially in challenging cases that may be negative for one or more of the traditional NE markers.
