Estrogen Receptor Beta 2 antibody | 57/3
Immunoexpression of ERs in endometrial cancers.
Image caption:
Tissues were classified as well (A-D), moderately (E-H) or poorly (J-M) differentiated; main panels show closely adjacent sections from three cancer blocks to allow direct comparisons. All proteins were immunolocalised to cell nuclei (see higher power inserts in panels e, f, c and d respectively). In the well and moderately differentiated cancers expression was most intense in epithelial cell layers (arrowheads, panel A and inserts). Note that ERα was low/absent in poor grade cancers (J) but immunoexpression of ERβ1, 2, 5 was readily detected (K. L, M). Inserts in panels K, L, and M show negative controls for ERβ1, ERβ2 and ERβ5 antibodies respectively generated using primary antibodies pre-absorbed with specific peptides used for immunisation. Asterisks (*) label the stromal compartment that was well defined in the well differentiated cancers.

Mouse anti Human estrogen receptor β2 antibody, clone 57/3 (MCA2279) used for the detection of ERβ2 expressing cells in tumor tissue by immunohistochemistry in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections.
Image caption:
Effect of gender on ERβ1, ERβ2 and ERβ5 expression in D283 Med xenografts. A) Immunostaining for ERβ1 was significantly higher in tumors from females compared to males (**p<0.01); B) and C) Tumor levels of ERβ2 and ERβ5 did not significantly differ between females and males. All results are expressed as the mean ± SEM (n = 6 tumors/group). Representative stained section of tumors from females and males are shown (magnification 40x). IHC, immunohistochemical score.

Mouse anti Human estrogen receptor β2 antibody, clone 57/3 (MCA2279) used for the detection of ERβ2 expressing cells in normal human liver by immunohistochemistry on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections.
Image caption:
Staining pattern of the ERβ isoforms in human liver. In order to confirm the specificity of the ERβ antibodies used in the study, we immunostained sections of human healthy liver, showing that ERβ1 and ERβ2 isoforms are not expressed, while specific nuclear ERβ5 immunoreactivity is detected (magnification 20x and 40x). This pattern of ERβ isoforms immunoreactivity is consistent with previous descriptions.

Mouse anti Human Estrogen Receptor beta 2 antibody, clone 57/3 recognizes the estrogen receptor beta 2 isoform, expressed in cell nuclei of a range of human tissues including the ovary, placenta, testis and vas deferens. No cross-reactivity is seen with estrogen receptor beta 1 isoform.
The detection of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors using immunohistochemical staining of formal fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue, has gradually replaced ligand binding assays (LBA), to become the most common method for the determination of the ER/PR status of breast tumors. Approximately 75% to 80% of breast tumors have estrogen and/or progesterone receptors, and the presence of these receptors helps determine both the patient’s prognosis and the effectiveness of hormonal therapy
