Expression of MPG in normal, BH, DCIS and IBC tissue. A. Tissues were subjected to IHC using an MPG-specific antibody. Representative slides are shown at 40× magnification. B. The relative mean intensity was determined from 6-8 images for each BH (n = 16), DCIS (n = 16) or IBC (n = 21) section and is shown graphically. ANOVA was used to detect statistical differences in the relative expression of BH (p = 0.0002), DCIS (p < 0.0001) and IBC (p < 0.0001) compared to normal mammary tissue, where normal mammary tissue is equal to one (dashed line).
