Resolution: standard / high Figure 1.
Immunohistochemistry on tissue microarray sections of breast cancers of the luminal
subtype. A: Expression of estrogen receptor in 100% of tumor cells in a grade III inflammatory
case. B: Strong expression of P-cadherin in 100% of tumor cells in the same case.
C: Higher magnification showing the cell membrane localization. D: Expression of estrogen
receptor in 100 % of tumor cells in a more differentiated (grade II) inflammatory
case. E: Moderate expression of P- cadherin in 100% of tumor cells in the same case.
F: Higher magnification showing the cell membrane localization. G: Luminal grade II
non inflammatory case with 100% estrogen receptor-positive cells. H: Absence of expression
of P-cadherin in the same non inflammatory case; note the positive internal control
on myoepithelial cells of the normal duct. I: Higher magnification showing the cell
membrane localization of the myoepithelial cells by contrast to the negativity of
the luminal normal cells.
