TABLE 2.
Summary of immunohistochemical analysis of BCAM, LAMA5, COL1 and COL4 in matched samples of OC metastases (Met) and spheroids from ascites (Asc). Staining intensities were classified as follows: Negative (0, black), weak (1, blue), moderate (2, brown) and strong (3, red). Metastatic sites analysed are listed in Table S2. Examples are shown in Figures 3 and S13
