Figure 1From: Survivin Expression in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex CellsSurvivin immunocytochemical localization in a TSC2 patient angiomyolipoma. A: Adjacent sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (a), and exposed to a polyclonal antibody against survivin (b-d). Immunocytochemistry revealed survivin-positive cells scattered in the parenchyma and localized in areas that were relatively poor in smooth muscle cells; survivin was mainly localized in the cytoplasm (d, arrow). B: Western blot evaluation of survivin expression in four different samples of angiomyolipoma. A549 cells were used as a positive control of survivin and caspase-3 expression.Back to article page
