28 TFE3 and TFEB IHC can sometimes be problematic 1. nonstandardized or excessive/inadequate fixation may result in false negative results 1 2. weak staining is difficult to interpret; a recent study 2 has suggested that such cases do not show TFE3 fusions, supporting the original scoring system proposed by Argani et al 1 which classifies weak staining as a negative result 3. oversensitive antigen retrieval techniques can result in detection of native TFE3, which is ubiquitously expressed 4. lot-to-lot differences in the antibody are another potential source of variability 1 Argani P, Lal P, Hutchinson B, et al.
