Breast tissue samples, including normal breast, nonmalignant disorders, and breast carcinomas (n = 257), were tested with monoclonal antibody Ki67 to define the growth fraction in each tissue subgroup. Immunocytochemical assays using anti-Ki67 and avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex and/or alkaline phosphatase anti-alkaline phosphatase were applied in frozen sections. The immunoreactions were anal...

There is no satisfactory biomarker yet available for predicting the likelihood of premalignant changes or carcinoma developing in Barrett's or columnar lined oesophagus. In this study we have evaluated the proliferation of squamous epithelium, columnar epithelium from columnar lined oesophagus and gastric columnar epithelium from 23 Barrett's patients using positive immunoreactivity with the mo...

In order to determine if the expression of the activation marker CD38 can correlate with HIV disease progression independently of cycling, we performed a cluster-based multivariate correlation analysis of total circulating CD4(+) T cell counts and viral loads with frequencies of CD38 and Ki67 expression on CD4(+) lymphocytes from patients with untreated HIV infection, stratified in maturation s...

UNLABELLED The prognostic role of p53 and Ki67 in colorectal carcinomas (CRC) is very controversial in the literature. In our study, we tried to find if their immunostains are correlated with bcl-2 expression or other classical prognostic factors (sex, age, localization and size of tumor, the grade and staging of tumor). We studied 507 cases with CRC and chose 38 cases in which we realized thes...

OBJECTIVE To investigate and compare the prognostic value of P53 and Ki67 markers in patients with breast cancer in Sabzevar, north east of Iran. METHODS A descriptive analytical study was conducted on 80 patients with breast cancer who were admitted to the hospitals in Sabzevar in 2006 and they were followed up to 2010. The expression of ki67 and stability of p53 genes were determined by imm...

We investigated the impact of pathologic differentiation (well or poorly differentiated) in metastatic grade 3 GEP-NEC patients receiving etoposide and platinum (EP)-based therapy, and evaluated a more exact Ki67 index cut-off point to select patients with grade 3 GEP-NEC who might benefit from EP-based therapy. A total of 31 patients with metastatic grade 3 GEP-NECs receiving EP-based therapy ...

Geminin is a protein involved in cell cycle progression. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of geminin expression in cervical intraepithelial neoplasm (CIN).The expression of geminin, p16, and Ki67 was examined in 95 samples, including CIN1 (n = 45), CIN2/3 (n = 40), and normal cervical tissues (n = 10) by immunohistochemistry. The correlation between geminin or p16 expression and human ...
