Figure 1. Laser capture microdissection of epithelial and stromal cells from fresh frozen prostate tissue.
(A) Image of 7 µM prostate tissue section on PEP membrane slide. (B) Image of tumor region of interest. (C–D). An area cancer adjacent stroma (*) before (C) and after (D) LCM. E–F, an epithelial area (
) from the same tumor region before (E) and after (F) LCM. (G–H), Patient-matched benign epithelium (G) and stromal (H) areas microdissected from regions away from the tumor or from other tissue blocks (preferentially). Delineated areas in black and marked (+) are the benign epithelium and stromal adjacent to benign epithelium areas, immediately after LCM but before lifting the cap from the whole tissue section.
