From: Estrogen receptors α and β and aromatase as independent predictors for prostate cancer outcome
Immunohistochemical analysis of estrogen receptor (ER)α, ERβ and aromatase in prostate cancer (PCa) specimens and tissue controls.
Microscopic pictures of tissue micro array representing expression of aromatase, estrogen receptor (ER)α and ERβ by immunohistochemistry staining in PCa sections. Original magnification x40 showing low and high expression of ERα, ERβ and aromatase in in tumor cells (TE) and tumor associated stromal cells (TS) of PCa in addition to positive tissue controls (Pos.TC) and negative tissue controls (Neg.TC) for each antibody. Positive tissue controls; ERα – ovary, ERβ –colon adenocarcinoma and aromatase – placenta. Negative tissue controls; ERα – liver, ERβ and aromatase – pancreas.
