The prostatic membrane antigen (PSMA) is a protein that is expressed in the prostatic epithelium. We studied the expression of PSMA in a series of 55 patients with different stages of prostate cancer and we compared the PSMA staining in prostate cancer cells, in high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) and in histologically benign prostatic epithelium for the same specimen. For this purpose archival paraffin-embedded specimens were studied by immunohistochemistry with a monoclonal antibody 7E11-C5.3 against PSMA using the streptavidin-biotin method. The mean percentage of PSMA immunoreactivity was 56.67% in prostate cancer (CaP) cells, and 48.6% in PIN cells, which was significantly higher than benign-appearing prostatic epithelium (5.72%) (for each pair, p
