  1. The list includes antibodies for the detection of primary or secondary defects and for the assessment of quality and preservation of samples.
  2. *Immunoanalysis possible but not informative for diagnostic assessment.
  3. IHC = immunohistochemistry; MHC = major histocompatibility complex; N = labelling not carried out routinely or antibody not tested/not suitable for test; nNOS = neuronal nitric oxide synthase; PTRF = polymerase I and transcript release factor; VCP = valosin-containing protein; WB = western blot; Y = labelling carried out routinely.
