Table 1 Biomax US BR962 breast cancer TMA was stained with an anti-Postn antibody (see Figure 1 ) and the results were scored as a percentage of the total cores on the TMA

  1. *Indicates the percentage of cores that displayed Postn expression by the cancer epithelia (see Figure 1G). #The AR expression scores of the three cores were reported to range between 5 and 30% positivity by the manufacturer. §All but three cores were reported to range between 1 and 50% positivity by the manufacturer. Expression levels were reported as variable. TMA, tissue microarray; Postn, periostin; AR, androgen receptor.
