The construction and analysis of tissue microarray containing all these human samples has been reported elsewhere4 (link),47 (link). At least two representative duplicate cores for each case were scored. Inmunohistochemistry analysis was carried out using the monoclonal mouse anti-human p53 (DO07, Agilent-Dako). Signal was amplified using avidin-peroxidase (ABC Elite Kit; Vector Labs), and peroxidase was visualized using 3,30-diaminobenzidine as a substrate (DAB kit, Vector Labs). Negative control slides were obtained by replacing primary antibodies with PBS (data not shown). Scoring of the results and selection of the thresholds, internal controls for reactivity of each antibody, and tissue controls for the series were done according to previously published methods4 (link),47 (link).
