Tumor stroma was distinctly stained while most cancer cells showed weak to moderate positivity. A majority of gastric, pancreatic, skin and ovarian cancers were negative.
Strong cytoplasmic positivity in a single case of renal cancer and in tumor stroma. Moderate staining in several other renal cancers tissues, lymphomas and a few other cancer tissues. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
All cancer cells were negative. Moderate to strong staining of extracellular matrix in all cancer tissues.

Description
Collagen, type VI, alpha 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The product of this gene contains several domains similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains. These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this collagen in organizing matrix components. Mutations in this gene are associated with Bethlem myopathy and Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. Three transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
