Figure 3.
Immunohistochemical analysis of PDCD4 shows the corresponding H&E-stained and PDCD4-stained tissue sections from patients with OSCC. Panels A1, A2, D1, D2 show two adjacent normal epithelium samples with strongly positive, nuclear PDCD4 staining. Panels B1, B2, E1, E2 show two dysplasia samples with positive to weak nuclear PDCD4 staining. Panels C1, C2, F1, F2 show loss of PDCD4 expression in two moderately differentiated OSCCs. Normal, dysplasia and OSCC samples are paired and correspond to two different patients (A-C and D-F, respectively).
