PSMA staining of grades I – IV glioma tissue Sections. A - PSMA staining of gliomas grades (I – IV). Note moderate staining of blood vessels and some cells in grade I, only light staining of tumor cells in grades II and III, and heavy blood vessel staining of GBM (grade IV). The bottom two staining control slides show adjacent GBM sections, one stained with the primary antibody for PSMA and the other, the negative control, which was fully stained including the secondary antibody, but with the primary antibody omitted. B – PSMA staining for astrocytoma grade I and grade IV (GBM). Each section represents a different patient. Arrows indicate cell staining in grade I tumor tissue Section. C – PSMA staining of grade II and III glioma. There is some staining of cells only in grade I and although there is more staining in grade III it is also restricted only to cells, with no blood vessel staining. Size bars in all panels indicate approximately 50 μm, except in negative control sections where they indicate 100 μm.
