We used an immunohistochemical assay with an antigenretrieval technique to study plasminogen activator inhibitor type-I (PAL I) expression in paraffin-embedded breast tissue samples at different stages of malignant transformation. We detected PAI-I in 15/20 invasive tumors. In several cases staining
The malignant potential of solid tumors is related to the ability to invade adjacent tissue and to metastasize. These properties of cancer cells depend on the synthesis of proteolytic enzymes which are able to digest adjacent connective tissue and basement membranes. We hypothesized that all element
