Journal ArticleDOI
KLE: a cell line with defective estrogen receptor derived from undifferentiated endometrial cancer.
George S. Richardson,G. Richard Dickersin,Leonard Atkins,David T. MacLaughlin,Shanthi Raam,Linda P. Merk,Frank M. Bradley +6 more
TL;DR: Tumors harvested from five of five nude mice bearing an inoculum for more than a month resemble the original specimen, and electron microscopy shows microvilli, many junctional processes, glycogenation, and a prominent nucleolonema.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunohistochemical localization of estrogen receptors in human mammary carcinoma using antibodies to the receptor protein
TL;DR: A procedure for processing the frozen sections, which enables the study of estrogen binding characteristic as well as the antigenic reactivity of the receptor molecules, is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estrogen receptors in male breast cancer
TL;DR: Estrogen receptor assays were performed on tumor specimens from 6 male patients with documented breast cancer and found that four out of five ER positive males responded to orchiectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estrogen receptor assay: Interlaboratory and intralaboratory variations in the measurement of receptors using dextran-coated charcoal technique: A study sponsored by E.C.O.G.
TL;DR: Six laboratories performing estrogen receptor analysis in breast cancer for patients included in clinical protocols of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group participated in a quality control study for estrogen receptor assay, finding frequency of misclassification of the receptor-positive powders as receptor-negative was related to the quantity of receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defective estrogen receptors in human mammary cancers: their significance in defining hormone dependence.
TL;DR: Preliminary clinical correlation studies demonstrate that a subclassification of ER(+) tumors based on functional abnormalities of ER may predict refractoriness to hormone therapy.
