From: Comparative evaluation of somatostatin and CXCR4 receptor expression in different types of thyroid carcinoma using well-characterised monoclonal antibodies

Fig. 2

Examples for typical expression patterns of the somatostatin receptors SST1, SST2, SST3, SST4, and SST5 (A–H), of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 (I) and of the proliferation marker Ki-67 (J–L) in thyroid cancer tissues. A–D: Examples for a negative staining (intensity 0) and for positive stainings with values of 1, 2, or 3 for the intensity of staining. Immunohistochemistry (red-brown colour), counterstaining with haematoxylin. Scale bar (A–L) = 50 μm. ATC: anaplastic thyroid carcinoma; FTC: follicular thyroid carcinoma; MTC: medullary thyroid carcinoma; PTC: papillary thyroid carcinoma. Arrows: positively stained tumour capillaries
