Abstract excerpt
We performed p53 immunostaining in 82 invasive breast carcinomas by using two commercially available antibodies, one of which (DO7) was employed in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections. The other antibody (PAb1801) was evaluated in corresponding acetone-fixed cryostat sections. A greater percent of cases were immunostained with DO7 compared to PAb1801 (52% vs 33%); however, the staining was more often...
