Immunohistochemistry of p63 (AD) and E-cadherin (EH) in meningioma (A, B, E, F) compared to normal arachnoid membranes (C, D, G, H). (A) Strong nuclear signal of p63 expression in this section of the tumor (200×); (B) Another tumor with both a moderate and a low signal for the nuclear p63 expression; (C) Immunohistochemistry p63 in arachnoid membrane from cadaver with no meningioma. No nuclear p63 expression in cells of the arachnoid membrane was observed in four different arachnoid autopsies as represented in C, at magnification of 400×; (D) Immunohistochemistry p63 in arachnoid from one sample with no meningioma a nuclear p63 expression in the external cap cells 400×; (E) Strong cytoplasmic signal of E-cadherin expression in this tumor (200×); (F) A tumor section with low E-cadherin expression; (G) Immunohistochemistry E-cadherin in arachnoid membrane from cadaver with no meningioma. Cytoplasmic E-cadherin expression is also limited to the outer layer of the arachnoid (200×); (H) Immunohistochemistry E-cadherin in arachnoid from cadaver with no meningioma in higher magnification (400×).
