Definition Molecular pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease
through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids.
Molecular pathology shares some aspects of practice with both anatomic pathology and clinical pathology, molecularbiology, biochemistry, proteomics and genetics, and is sometimes considered a "crossover" discipline.
![Page 3: Molecular pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. Molecular.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551aebb255034606048b5e51/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
It is multi-disciplinary in nature and focuses mainly on the sub-microscopic aspects of disease.
development of molecular and genetic approaches to the diagnosis and classification of human diseases,
the design and validation of predictive biomarkers for treatment response and disease progression,
the susceptibility of individuals of different genetic constitution to develop disorders.

Human H5N1 disease is clinically and pathologically distinct from that caused by seasonal human influenza A H3N2 or H1N1 viruses.
a rapid progression of lower respiratory tract disease, often requiring mechanical ventilation within days of admission to a hospital
In addition to pulmonary complications, other clinical manifestations of H5N1 virus infections may include severe lymphopenia, gastrointestinal symptoms, and liver and renal dysfunction
![Page 5: Molecular pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. Molecular.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551aebb255034606048b5e51/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Reactive hemophagocytosis in multiple organs, and occasional detection of viral antigen or viral RNA in extrapulmonary organs suggest a broader tissue distribution of H5N1 viruses compared with seasonal viruses in fatal human cases.
Patients with severe H5N1 disease have unusually higher serum concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
![Page 6: Molecular pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. Molecular.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551aebb255034606048b5e51/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The elevation of plasma cytokine levels was positively correlated with pharyngeal viral load and may simply reflect more extensive viral replication.
Although H5N1 virus infection of humans is primarily one of the lower respiratory tract, in rare, severe cases, disseminate beyond the lungs and infect brain, intestines and lymphoid tissues and result in extra-pulmonary clinical manifestations including encephalopathy or encephalitis
![Page 7: Molecular pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. Molecular.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551aebb255034606048b5e51/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
use of different techniques to detect virus distribution and infection of 5 organ systems in a laboratory confirmed fatal human H5N1 virus infection, and analyze the relationship between viral load in tissues and host response.
Virus distribution: Virus culture real-time RT-PCR IHC and ISH
![Page 8: Molecular pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. Molecular.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551aebb255034606048b5e51/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
live virus was recovered from respiratory tissues including lung, trachea, bronchus and aortopulmonary vessel. In the digestive system, virus was isolated from tissues collected from the ileum, colon and rectum, but not the stomach, duodenum or liver.
virus culture was also positive on tissues collected from brains, ureter and axillary lymph-node. Sequencing results showed that the sequences of isolates are identical.
![Page 9: Molecular pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. Molecular.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551aebb255034606048b5e51/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The tissue distribution of viral RNA or antigen detected by ISH and IHC stains respectively, was also generally consistent with virus isolation by culture or real time RT-PCR result.

Viral locationImmunohistochemistryImmunohistochemistry or IHC refers to
the process of detecting antigens (e.g., proteins) in cells of a tissue section by exploiting the principle of antibodies binding specifically to antigens in biological tissues.
IHC takes its name from the roots "immuno," in reference to antibodies used in the procedure, and "histo," meaning tissue compare to immunocytochemistry

Immunocytochemistry is performed on samples of intact cells
that have had most, if not all, of their
surrounding extracellular matrix removed. This includes cells
grown within a culture, deposited from suspension, or taken
from a smear.
Immunocytochemistry refers to localization in isolated cells or
labelling directed to cell specific compartment (e.g. the cell
membrane, Golgi or lysosomes, etc.)
In contrast, immunohistochemical samples are sections
of biological tissue, where each cell is surrounded by tissue
architecture and other cells normally found in the intact tissue

Fixation complete preparation of the sample is critical to
maintain cell morphology, tissue architecture and the antigenicity of target epitopes. This requires proper tissue collection, fixation and sectioning.
Paraformaldehyde is usually used with fixation. Depending on the purpose and the thickness of
the experimental sample, either thin (about 4-40 μm) sections are sliced from the tissue of interest, or if the tissue is not very thick and is penetrable its used whole.
slices are mounted on slides.
![Page 16: Molecular pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. Molecular.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551aebb255034606048b5e51/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Because of the method of fixation and tissue preservation, the sample may require additional steps to make the epitopes available for antibody binding, including deparaffinization and antigen retrieval.
(microwave method, enzyme method, hot incubation method)
Detergents like Triton X-100 to reduce surface tension, allowing less reagent to be used to achieve better and more even coverage of the sample
nonspecific binding causes high background staining that can mask the detection of the target antigen
![Page 17: Molecular pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. Molecular.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551aebb255034606048b5e51/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
the samples are incubated with a buffer that blocks the non specific reactive sites to which the primary or secondary antibodies may otherwise bind
normal serum, non-fat dry milk, BSA (bovine serum albumin), or gelatin

Sample labelling The antibodies used for specific detection can
be polyclonal or monoclonal.
1. Polyclonal antibodies: Large complex antigens may have multiple epitopes
and elicit several antibody types. Mixtures of different antibodies to a single
antigen are called polyclonal antibodies. Produced by injecting a specific
antigen into a rabbit and taking its serum.
2. Monoclonal antibodies: Antibodies specific for a single epitope and
produced by a single clone are called monoclonal antibodies and are
commonly raised in mice
![Page 19: Molecular pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. Molecular.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551aebb255034606048b5e51/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
B. Labeling Antibodies:
Antibodies are not visible with standard microscopy and
must be labeled in a manner that does not interfere with
their binding specificity.
Common labels include fluorochromes (eg, fluorescein,
rhodamine), enzymes demonstrable via enzyme
histochemical techniques (eg, peroxidase, alkaline
phosphatase), and electron-scattering compounds for use in
electron microscopy (eg, ferritin, colloidal gold).
![Page 20: Molecular pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. Molecular.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551aebb255034606048b5e51/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
antibodies are classified as primary or secondary reagents
Primary antibodies are raised against an antigen of interest and are typically unconjugated
The secondary antibody is usually conjugated to a linker molecule, such as biotin, that then recruits reporter molecules, or the secondary antibody itself is directly bound to the reporter molecule.

In Situ Hybridization In situ hybridization (ISH) is a type
of hybridization that uses a labeled complementary DNA or RNA strand (i.e., probe) to localize a specific DNA or RNA sequence in a portion or section of tissue (in situ), or, if the tissue is small enough (e.g. plant seeds, Drosophila embryos), in the entire tissue (whole mount ISH), in cells and in circulating tumor cells (CTCs).
DNA ISH can be used to determine the structure of chromosomes
![Page 34: Molecular pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. Molecular.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110304/551aebb255034606048b5e51/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Fluorescent DNA ISH (FISH) can, for example, be used in medical diagnostics to assess chromosomal integrity
RNA ISH (RNA in situ hybridization) is used to measure and localize RNAs (mRNAs, lncRNAs and miRNAs) within tissue sections, cells, whole mounts, and circulating tumor cells (CTCs)
