In some tumors, defects in mismatch repair enzymes lead to errors in the replication of simple nucleotide repeat segments RER+ tumors. This condition is commonly known as microsatellite instability (MSI) because of the frequent mutations of microsatellite sequences. Although the MSI phenotype is wel

Flow cytometric analysis of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PgR) receptor expression in archival human breast tumors is relatively difficult. We have used enzyme digestion and microwave antigen retrieval procedures for multiparametric flow cytometric analysis of ER and PgR expression and DNA content
pS2 gene has been used to investigate the relationship between alterations of DNA methylation patterns in human tumors and gene expression. The expression of pS2, which is transcriptionally controlled by estrogens in breast cancer cell lines, is restricted to estrogen-receptor-rich human breast tumo
Human breast carcinomas (n = 232) were evaluated for estrogen and progesterone receptors (ER, PR) by immunohistochemical study and by cytosol steroid-binding assay (n = 185). The staining was scored (histoscore) by estimates of relative nuclear staining intensity and the percentage of positively sta
