Metas-Chip, H&E, IHC and RT-PCR diagnostic results of breast lymph nodes removed from breast cancer patients by CNB

Expression of Vimentin(Vim) and Pancytocheratin(PCK) markers were assayed by IHC as a reference diagnosis in CNB samples. Detection of metastasis in each assay is correlated with expression levels of transcripts associated with the presence of malignancy in the lymph region such as Vimentin, N-Cadherin, MMP2, and MMP9. The trace of transcripts in suspicious lymph nodes are sharply distinguishable than safe samples which indicates the accuracy of Metas-Chip
