Immunohistochemical staining was performed on a Benchmark immunohistochemistry staining system (Bond; Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) with BOND polymer refine detection solution for DAB, using anti‐MGMT (1 : 800, abcam, Cambridge, UK, ab39253) primary antibody as substrate as previously described [45 (link)]. Images were acquired using an Olympus BX46 microscope (Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan) as previously described. MGMT immunoreactivity was scored semi‐quantitatively by multiplying the proportion of MGMT positive cells (%) and the staining intensity (0 = none; 1 = weak; 2 = intermediate; and 3 = strong). Statistical comparison was performed using paired Wilcoxon test.
