Abstract
Expression of human milk fat globule (HMFG1) in immunohistochemically stained sections of breast carcinomas was assessed subjectively and objectively from 82 women (age range 41-96 years) to determine its prognostic importance. No correlation was observed between the degree of staining and prognosis even when the subcellular distribution of antigen expression was assessed. The total absence of staining with HMFG1 was possibly associated with a favourable outcome, although this did not quite achieve significance with the small numbers involved. The Quantimet 970 was used for objective semiautomated measurement of immunohistochemical reactions in paraffin wax sections and was found to produce better resolution and to eliminate subjective error.
