LINE-1 ORF1p is expressed in incidental STIC lesions. Representative images of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, p53, and LINE-1 ORF1p expression in fallopian tube epithelium (FTE) and serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) lesions (IHC). Incidental STIC lesions display robust cytoplasmic and pan-cellular ORF1p expression (20X). There is no ORF1p expression in the adjacent benign epithelium. Intense nuclear p53 staining is characteristic of the STIC lesion and is negative in normal tissue. Inset micrographs (40X) highlight the normal ciliated cells in benign FTE and the malignant cells in the STIC lesion.
