From: Indication of high lipid content in epithelial-mesenchymal transitions of breast tissues
Photomicrographs of five breast cancer samples illustrating their E-cadherin and Vimentin scores, captured at comparable magnifications. Positive IHC expression is depicted by brown colour staining of the cells. Images of samples EMT-11, EMT-20 and EMT-23 illustrate the strong Vimentin staining of stromal cells which are not considered for scoring of cancer cells. EMT-20 illustrates the difference in morphology of vimentin-positive tumour cells at the right lower triangle of the picture (which show the cancer characteristics of cellular pleomorphism and enlarged nuclei) from vimentin-positive stromal (benign) cells (which are elongated and have small bland nuclei). The column at the right indicates the designated EMT status of the illustrated samples.
