Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative IHC images of CD146, survivin and Ki-67 expression. Expression of CD146 in epithelioid MPeM: (A) Negative; (B) 1+; (C) 2+; (D) 3+. Expression of CD146 in non-epithelioid MPeM: (E) Negative; (F) 1+; (G) 2+; (H) 3+. Expression of survivin in epithelioid MPeM: (I) Negative; (J) 1+; (K) 2+; (L) 3+. Expression of survivin in non-epithelioid MPeM: (M) Negative; (N) 1+; (O) 2+; (P) 3+. Expression of Ki-67 in epithelioid MPeM: (Q) Lower expression; (R) higher expression. Expression of Ki-67 in non-epithelioid MPeM: (S) Lower expression; (T) higher expression. Staining of CD146 was observed in the cytoplasm and cell membrane, staining of survivin was found in the nucleus and cytoplasm, while Ki-67 staining was nuclear. Magnification, ×400. IHC, immunohistochemistry; MPeM, malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.
Article Snippet: Specimens were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies against the following molecules: Survivin (dilution, 1:100; rabbit monoclonal, clone EP119; OriGene Technologies, Inc.; cat. no. S1130), CD146 (dilution, 1:100; rabbit monoclonal, clone EP54; OriGene Technologies, Inc.; cat. no.
