HCC = hepatocellular carcinoma; DENA = diethylnitrosamine; IHC = immunohistochemistry; GS = glutamine synthetase; M = membranous labeling; C = cytoplasmic labeling; N = nuclear labeling; focal = limited numbers of cells in a tissue region; rare = occasional isolated positive cells; + = positive; − = negative; n/a = not applicable; n/d = not determinable, tissue preservation not optimal for IHC.
