Correlation of Beta-2 Adrenergic Receptor Expression in Tumor-Free Surgical Margin and at the Invasive Front of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Figure 2

Expression pattern of β2-AR in OSCC specimens. (a and b) OSCC with strong expression of β2-AR in both surgical margin and invasive front of tumor. (c and d) OSCC with weak expression of β2-AR in both surgical margin and invasive front of tumor. (e and f) OSCC with reduced expression of β2-AR at the invasive front of the tumor when compared to surgical margin. Note the membranous and/or cytoplasmic expression pattern of β2-AR in immunostained cells (a, b, c, d, e, and f: immunohistochemistry β2-AR, original magnification ×400).
