Inmunohistochemistry of HSPGs. (A-C) Localization of syndecan-1 using inmunhistochemistry in normal and tumoral breast tissue. (A) Normal tissues showing sydecan expression exclusively in the terminal ductal lobular unit, magnification 200X. (B,C) Non-metastatic and metastatic tumors, respectively,showing an increased expression of syndecan-1 in the desmoplastic stroma, magnification 100X. (D) Control of syndecan antibodies. IDC in area of chronic inflammatory reaction, where some plasmatic cells are present. They show strong positivity to syndecan (arrow). (E,F) Confocal microcopic visualization of perlecan (green) in IDC. The cytoplasm was stained with TriC-conjugated phalloidin (red) and nuclei counterstained with DAPI (blue). (D) Normal breast tissue. (E) Metastatic tumor tissue, magnification 600X.
