All /ratios were close to 1 indicating that there are comparable amounts of both templates in each RNA samples. (B) Dilutions of a single RNA sample for each cell line were also amplified in triplicate with both gene primer sets to confirm that the ratio was consistent regardless of starting template concentration. (C) Triplicate amplifications of , and in three samples for each cell line using the Corbett Rotorgene confirmed the previous result for /and showed a similar result when expression was normalised to a second housekeeping gene

There was no reactivity to the primary antibody (EphB4 1° only) or secondary antibody (2° only) alone and little background fluorescence (No staining)

Sizes of the amplified products are shown on the right (bp). An RNA sample to which no reverse transcriptase was added and a PCR reagent only (containing no template) amplification were also performed as negative controls for each stage of the RT-PCR

(A) The immunoblot was incubated sequentially with antibodies specific to EphB4, α-actin and calnexin and exposed to autoradiographic film for the indicated times. MCF10A engineered to express EphB4 (5 μg protein lysate) was used as a positive control. The arrow indicates the expected size of each protein – 120 kDa for EphB4, 43.2 kDa for α-actin and 90 kDa for calnexin. The size of the marker proteins is shown on the left in kDa. (B) Coomassie stained duplicate gel for loading comparison

Images (20× magnification) of normal (panel 2) and diseased tissue (panel 4) from eight different patient samples are shown with a Haematoxylin/eosin stained consecutive section (panels 1 and 3). The Gleason score for each disease focus is shown in the top left-hand corner of the image of each tumour focus. A single sample that contained a focus of basal cell hyperplasia, two samples with well-differentiated adenocarcinoma, two samples of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and three samples of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma are shown. The brown stain from the biotinylated secondary antibody indicates the EphB4 protein. Nuclei are stained with Harris haematoxylin and appear blue. Staining of normal tissues was either absent or weak and diffuse. Increased staining of the tumour tissue appeared to correlate with increased Gleason score. There was no cross-reactivity with the secondary antibody alone (result not shown)

Images from 10× magnification (A) and a region from this (as indicated by the box) at 20× magnification (B) are shown for 2 regions of normal prostate duct (1 and 2) and 8 regions with disease (3–10) from this single sample. A comparable level of EphB4 staining was seen in regions of high grade PIN (eg. focus 8 indicated PIN) and regions of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (eg. focus 7 indicated PDA). Regions of well-differentiated (eg focus 3) and moderately differentiated (eg focus 10) also show comparable staining
