Localisation of PRLr expression to lysosomes in normal parathyroid rim and to enlarged lysosomes in parathyroid tumour tissue.
<p>A) Immunohistochemistry with PRLrI showing “ring-like” cytoplasmic structures and cytoplasmic reactivity. B) Immunohistochemistry of PRLrI showing cytoplasmic granuale and cytoplasmic reactivty. C and D) Analysis of “ring like” structures and cytoplasmic granulae by flourescent immunohistochemistry. Images show one parathyroid tumour (C) and normal parathyroid rim (D), stained with DAPI (blue), anti-PRLrI (red, upper right) and anti-SCARB2 (green lysosomal marker, lower left) separately and in overlay (lower right and upper left).</p
Immunohistochemical analysis of PRLr expression using the PRLrI antibody
<p>. The photomicrographs show parathyroid tumour tissues (A–C) and negative control (D). Parathyroid tumours are shown with immunostaining of cytoplasmic granulae and cytoplasm (A), of cytoplasm only (B), and of cell membrane and cytoplasm (C).</p
Western blot analysis of protein expression for GSK3β and isoforms of the prolactin receptor.
<p>A) Detection of 80 kDa and 60/70 kDa products with the PRLrI antibody in normal tissues, T47D cells and parathyroid tumours, and 60/70 kDa N-glycosylated PRLr products with the gPRLr antibody in parathyroid tumours. B) Expression of total GSK3β (left) as well as Ser9-phosphorylated GSK3β (right) in parathyroid tumours and normal tissue.</p
