Ploidy Analysis. Using Feulgen-stained
tissue prepared according to standardized procedures, we could obtain DNA
histograms by computer assisted image analysis and document them by a recognized
systematic method.
Immunohistochemistry Analysis.
The proliferation status of tissue could be measured using a variety of
antibodies indicating the proliferation rate or fraction of cycling cells
such as Anti-HPCA -1(CD-34), c-neu, p-53, Ki-67, VEGF-G, or others.
The distribution pattern of labeled cycling cells within the tissue also
could be measured.
Nuclear Morphometry. The
mean and variance of the three parameters of nuclear area, nuclear shape,
and nuclear texture features could be measured. An index of pleomorphism,
expressed as the sum of the variances of nuclear area and shape, or an
equivalent function, also could be calculated.
