Analysis of protein expression and histological staining.
Protein analysis for DR5 (A), BIRC5/Survivin (B), cIAP1 (C), cIAP2 (D) and DR4 (E) by immunohistochemistry in human colon tumors. Strong immunoreactivity is shown for DR5, DR4 in T167 and BIRC5/Survivin in T197. Moderate immunoreactivity is shown for BIRC5/Survivin in T145 and DR4 in T187. Mild immunoreactivity is shown for cIAP1 and cIAP2. Original magnification was 200X, except for T131, T127 for cIAP1, T24 for cIAP2 and T187, that was 100X. Arrows indicate normal mucosa. T: tumor. Haematoxylin-eosin (H,E) stained slides from the taken samples were used to confirm the percentage of tumor (F). Original magnification was 25X.
