Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunofluorescence analysis of primary culture derived from PDOXs. (A and B) Established primary cultures were seeded on coverslips and fixed. (A) Primary cultures of G1 of PDOXs were stained with breast cancer subtype-specific markers, such as ERα, PRα and Ki-67 and epithelial and mesenchymal markers such as pan-CK, E-cadherin, vimentin and α-SMA. (B) Primary cultures of G4 of PDOXs were stained with breast cancer subtype-specific markers, ERα, PRα and Ki-67 and epithelial and mesenchymal markers such as Pan-CK N-Cadherin, Vimentin and α-SMA. PDOX, patient-derived orthotopic xenograft; SMA, smooth muscle actin; ER, estrogen receptor; PR, progesterone receptor; CK, cytokeratin.
Article Snippet: The cells were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies to the following proteins: estrogen receptor (ER)-α (cat. no. ab32063; Abcam), progesterone receptor (PR) (cat. no. ab8757; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), HER2 (cat. no. ab2428; Abcam), E-cadherin (cat. no. sc-7870; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), N-cadherin (ab18203; Abcam), vimentin (sc-7558; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), Ki-67 (sc-23900; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.), α-smooth muscle actin (SMA; ab5694; Abcam) and pan-cytokeratin (cat. no. C5992; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck Millipore) at 1:100 dilution.
