From: Distinct microbiological signatures associated with triple negative breast cancer
Detection of viral and microbial signatures associated with triple negative breast cancer samples.
Signals for conserved and specific viral probes (a), bacterial, fungal and parasitic probes (b) detected in the triple negative breast tumor samples are shown as heat maps of probes (x-axis) hybridized to the tumor samples and both matched (MC) and non-matched control (NC) samples (y-axis). The 60 cancer samples that were pooled as 5 samples in one reaction are marked with an asterisk (*), the 40 other cancer samples were tested individually. The matched controls were obtained from the adjacent normal breast tissues of the breast cancer samples marked as zero (o). The percentage detection of conserved and specific viral signatures (a) and specific microbial signatures (b) in 100 triple negative breast tumors are shown as bar graphs. The signatures of viral family and microbes detected are ranked according to prevalence (samples detected %) and also according to decreasing hybridization signal of the probes to the tumors.
