Histological score for immunohistochemical staining of AR-NTD, AR-CTD, and AR-V7.
A variety of immunohistochemical staining patterns for AR-NTD, AR-CTD and AR-V7 are shown. Epithelial nuclear staining (A) for AR-NTD (PG21) and AR-CTD (C19) are higher in BPH samples than in PCa samples (P = 0.034 and P = 0.041, respectively). Although BPH group seems to have a higher AR-V7 H-Score, it was not statistically different (P = 0.093). Epithelial cytoplasmatic staining (B) was not different between the groups. The bars represent the minimum to maximum values.
