H & E stained slides in NP (B), BPH (F) and PC (J); immunohistochemical localizations of PSMA, PSA and CD34. Negative control (A). NP showing weak cytoplasmic staining for PSMA (C) and PSA (D) in epithelial cells. CD34 was found at low level in membranous and cytoplasmic endothelial cells in NP (E) and BPH (I). BPH showing weak membranous staining for PSMA (G) and strong membranous and cytoplasmic staining for PSA (H) in prostatic epithelial cells. PSMA (K) and CD34 (M) showed strong immunoreactions in infiltrating prostatic carcinoma. PSA (L) showed weak cytoplasmic immunoreactions of epithelial cells in PC. Scale bars: A-G, I-M, 20 μm; H, 30 μm.
