Article Title: Prognostic significance of the expression of HER family members in primary osteosarcoma
doi: 10.3892/ol.2018.8931
Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunohistochemical expression of HER family members in osteosarcoma specimens. (A) High EGFR expression: Predominantly membranous with some cytoplasmic brown staining (arrow). (B) Low EGFR expression. (C) High HER-2 expression: Predominantly cytoplasmic brown staining (arrow). (D) Low HER-2 expression. (E) High HER-3 expression: Predominantly nuclear and cytoplasmic brown staining (arrow). (F) Low HER-3 expression. (G) High HER-4 expression: Predominantly nuclear and cytoplasmic brown staining (arrow). (H) Low HER-4 expression. (I) Final HER expression score demonstrating no significant difference among the expression levels of the HER family members. The box-plot was obtained using GraphPad Prism 5.0 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) (original magnification of Fig. A-H, ×200). HER, human epidermal growth factor receptor.
Article Snippet: The sections were then immunostained with anti-EGFR (rabbit monoclonal EP38Y; cat no. ab52894; 1:50 dilution), anti-HER-2 (mousemonoclonalHRB2/451; cat no. ab187288; 1:100 dilution), anti-HER-3 (mouse monoclonalRTJ2; cat no. ab20161; 1:50 dilution) or anti-HER-4 (mouse monoclonal5G6B4; cat. no. ab204959; 1:50 dilution) (all Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) and incubated overnight at 4°C.
