Tumors were collected to fixed and embedded to be made into paraffin sections. Then sections were incubate with primary antibodies against CTHRC1 (Abcam, London, UK) and integrin β3 (Abclonal, Wuhan, China) at 4 °C overnight which were followed by the incubation of the corresponding secondary antibodies and DAB chromogenic reaction and HE staining [38 (link)].
Membranous PSMA quantification was determined by modified H-Score (H-SCORE = ∑ (pi × i) = (percentage of weak intensity area ×1)+(percentage of moderate-intensity area ×2)+(percentage of strong intensity area ×3), to determine the overall percentage of mPSMA positivity across the entire stained tumor sample, yielding a range from 0 to 300 [39 ].
