A 55-year old woman undergoes surgery for a stage II invasive ductal carcinoma. The mass is removed, with the specimen showing negative margins and no lymph node involvement. To determine treatment options, immunohistochemical studies are performed to evaluate expression of receptors for estrogen, progesterone, and HER2-type EGF. Which of the following markers will most likely show immunoreactivity that is limited to the nucleus?

A. Estrogen and HER2 receptors
B. Estrogen and progesterone receptors
C. Estrogen, HER2, and progesterone receptors
D. Estrogen receptor only
E. HER2 receptor only
F. Progesterone receptor only

 

[ecgram]

i think its B but not sure

 

[achistikbenny]

i think is B but not sure too

 

[5dns]

the ans is b, because both have steroid receptors?

 

[drmodi44]

B

ya correct answer is B. Estrogen and progesterone receptors..as immunogenicity is limited to nucleus only...

 

[silakan_isi]

Yup2 . .

I think Soo . . It's B

can anyone tell me what does immunoreactivity limited to the nucleus mean?

Hey it means that when the pathologist makes an immunostain with special markers for the receptors he is looking for, the stain is just on the nucleus and not on the cell surface. Does this help u?

yea thanks alot

i thought HER-2 affect the nucleus too but it seems to be a tyrosine kinase receptor ..isnt it?

Yeah it a tyrosinkinase rec. for Epithelial growth factor I think. So its on the surface
