Immunohistochemistry for vimentin and E-cadherin were done on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue of previously described breast cancer samples [13 (link), 16 (link)]. Vimentin was detected using ready-to-use mouse anti-human vimentin antibody from Ventana (Cat# 790-2917) and were stained using automated staining platform (Ventana). Immunohistochemical staining of E-cadherin was done manually using rabbit anti E-cadherin antibody (clone EP00y) overnight at a dilution of 1:500. Envision + polymer (ready to use; Dako) was used as a secondary antibody. Color was developed with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) and instant hematoxylin (Shandon) was used for counterstaining.
