Hosford et al. [ 34] had similar results when they assessed the CD44 expression in papillary-serous cancer: 81%% of specimens expressed no CD44 at all; however they found no significant correlation with prognostic factors.
That none of Mr. Leiner and Mr. Catlin's carefully cultivated urban specimens expresses a political opinion — or even the slightest hint of curiosity about or engagement with the larger world — creates a ringing silence that also amounts to a glaring false note.
In this study only 2 of 142 specimens expressed estrogen receptors for a prevalence of 1.4%, whereas 130 tumors (92%) expressed progesterone receptors.
All but one of the PMP specimens expressed CK20 in vivo, supporting an intestinal origin, yet failed to express this marker in vitro.
Since a significant number of specimens expressed ER or AR, we compared IHC scores between histologic subtypes.
A total of 15/27 malignant specimens expressed MAGE-1, including 10/14 serous cystadenocarcinomas.
Moreover NHL specimens expressed the adiponectin receptors, suggesting that adiponectin may represent not only a potential clinically significant diagnostic and prognostic marker but also a molecule that may be implicated in NHL pathogenesis [ 60].
These results agree well with the relaxation assays, showing that topoisomerase specimens expressed by yeasts were functional in vivo.
Thirty specimens expressed TGF-beta1 mRNA while 12 specimens did not.
The majority of normal urothelial specimens expressed Fas, whereas in UC, Fas was downregulated.
