Figure 3From: Expression and clinical significance of extracellular matrix protein 1 and vascular endothelial growth factor-C in lymphatic metastasis of human breast cancer Representative IHC staining of VEGF-C (200×). A-D: VEGF-C staining was mainly located in the cytoplasm of breast cancer cells: A. VEGF-C negative; B. + VEGF-C staining; C. ++ VEGF-C staining; D. +++ VEGF-C staining. E-F normal breast epithelium: E. VEGF-C negative; F. breast ductal epithelial cells classified ++ for cytoplasmic VEGF-C staining. G-H lymph node metastases: G. metastatic cells were negative for VEGF-C staining; H. cytoplasm of metastatic cells classified + for VEGF-C staining.Back to article page
