Article Title: 17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I and aromatase in ovarian cortical inclusion cysts
doi: 10.1530/EC-24-0643
Figure Lengend Snippet: Micrograph of sections of a CIC lined with mixed epithelium stained with hematoxylin and eosin. (A) CIC with flat epithelium displays regions of ciliated cells. (B) Transition from flat to mucinous epithelia is observed in CIC mix . Sections of the same cortical inclusion cyst (CIC) lined with tubal-like epithelium (CIC tube ) show immunoreactivity for: (C) 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD17B1), (D) aromatase and (E) ERα. The labeling for aromatase is lighter than that for HSD17B1 and ERα reactivity. Scale bar = 50 μm.
Article Snippet: The primary antibodies used were the HSD17B1 antibody (cat. GTX12312; GeneTex, USA), aromatase antibody H4 (cat. OASA02666; Aviva Systems Biology, USA) and Erα HC20 antibody (cat. sc-543; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., USA).
Techniques: Staining, Labeling
