The breast samples were taken from female patients after tru cut biopsies, lumpectomies or mastectomies. Paraffin embedded blocks were prepared from the specimens out of which sections were stained immunohistochemically with the Vision Bio Systems mouse monoclonal antibodies for Estrogen Receptor (NCL-ER-6F11) and Progesterone Receptor (NCL-PGR-312). All stages were performed under the routine procedure of the hospital laboratory.
