Figure 2From: Evaluation of the kinase domain of c-KIT in canine cutaneous mast cell tumorsImmunohistochemical staining patterns of canine cutaneous MCTs staining with anti-KIT antibodies. A. KIT staining pattern 1: peri-membrane KIT protein localization; B. KIT staining pattern 2: focal or stippled cytoplasmic KIT protein localization; C. KIT staining pattern 3: Diffuse cytoplasmic KIT localization. Canine MCTs with KIT staining patterns 2 and 3 that lacked ITD c-KIT mutations were screened for mutations in c-KIT exon 17. B and C show MCTs with aberrant KIT localization that lack ITD c-KIT mutations.Back to article page
