“…Representative 4-lm-thick sections were subjected to immunohistochemical analysis using the streptavidin-biotin peroxidase complex system (UltraVision Large Volume Detection System Anti-Polyvalent, HRP; LabVision Corp.), as previously described [19] (Supplementary Fig S1), using the primary antibody raised against Brachyury (sc-20109: Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) [16,19,[27][28][29]. Tumor samples were evaluated for extension (percentage of cytoplasm-positive cells: 0, negative; 1, \25 % positive cells; 2, 26-50 % positive cells; 3, [50 % positive cells) and intensity (0, negative; 1, weak; 2, moderate; 3, strong) of the immunoreactions.…”
