Ki67 H-Scores of BT474 and MDA361 cells in 2D versus 3D culture in response to endocrine agents and trastuzumab
A (BT474): Ki67 antigen staining- expressed as % control | ||||||
C | H | T | F | H + T | H + F | |
3D | 100 | 106 | 70 | 27 | 6 | 6 |
2D | 100 | 33 | 62 | 25 | 6 | 2 |
B (MDAMB361): Ki67 antigen staining- expressed as % control | ||||||
C | H | T | F | H + T | H + F | |
3D | 100 | 75 | 70 | 25 | 25 | 5 |
2D | 100 | 9 | 64 | 5 | 9 | 5 |
H-Scoring of immunohistochemical staining (Fig. 5) were used to determine the percent of cells positive for this antigen after drug treatment. Cells cultured in 2D had less Ki67-positive cells after drug treatment than those cultured in 3D
