Hepcidin, FPN1, TFR1 and FT expression pattern in breast tissue. Representative images of Hepcidin, FPN1 (Ferroportin 1), TFR1 (Transferrin Receptor 1) and FT (Ferritin) immunostaining in normal breast, DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) and IDC (invasive ductal carcinoma). A section of human donor liver is also shown as a positive control. Tissue microarrays containing several samples of breast tissue and human donor liver were constructed, sectioned and subjected to immunohistochemistry, as described in materials and methods (Original magnification × 400). * and † are representative of epithelial cells and leukocyte infiltrate, respectively
