Figure 1
Immunohistochemical staining of noninvasive breast lesions with antibody against p53. p53 nuclear accumulation was not found in epithelial cells of normal ducts (a) and usual ductal hyperplasia (b) of breast. p53 positive staining in atypical ductal hyperplasia (c): the bigger arrow shows a breast duct filled with cells with atypical hyperplasia. The cells are quite identical in size and shape. Staining of p53 is seen in some nuclears (> 10%). The little arrow shows a normal duct without p53 nuclear accumulation. p53 positive staining in ductal carcinoma in situ (d): the bigger arrow shows a ductal carcinoma in situ with positive staining of p53 in nuclears (> 10%). The little arrow shows necrosis in the ductal carcinoma in situ. (× 40)
