Takuo Takehana, Kazuyoshi Kunitomo, Shioto Suzuki, Koji Kono, Hideki Fujii, Yoshiro Matsumoto, Akishi Ooi  Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology  Volume 1, Issue 6, Pages (November 2003) DOI: /S (03)

2 Figure 1 Mucosal gastric carcinoma immunostained for (A) EGFR and (B) p53. Immunostaining with 3+ intensity is seen in the well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma. A proportion of the p53-positive cells is also EGFR-positive. (Case 1; original amplification 10×.) Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2003 1, DOI: ( /S (03) )

3 Figure 2 Adenocarcinoma with different histologic subpopulations. EGFR staining is seen (A) in a papillary carcinoma but not (B) in a signet-ring cell carcinoma. The region within the black rectangle in (A) corresponds to the field in (C). FISH analysis of a serial section of (A) shows 3+ staining cancer cells have multiple scattered red signals of the EGFR gene (C). (Case 6; original amplification 20×.) Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2003 1, DOI: ( /S (03) )

4 Figure 3 Adenocarcinoma overexpressing EGFR. Three serial sections demonstrating (A) 3+ immunostaining of cancer tubules composed of (B) cells with marked cytological atypia (asterisks) that correspond to (C) cells with gene amplification. (Case 2; original amplification 10×.) Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2003 1, DOI: ( /S (03) )

5 Figure 4 Sections from FISH analyses showing clusters of amplified signals. (Case 5; original amplification 100×.) Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2003 1, DOI: ( /S (03) )

6 Figure 5 Sections from FISH analyses showing an absence of amplification in a tumor with 2+ immunostaining. (Case 7; original amplification 100×.) Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology 2003 1, DOI: ( /S (03) )
