Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunohistochemical staining of heparanase in Ewing’s sarcoma specimens. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded 5 μm sections were subjected to immunostaining, applying anti-heparanase polyclonal antibody (Ab 733), as described under ‘Materials and methods’. Shown are representative photomicrographs of heparanase-positive specimens categorized as weak (+1, A, B) or strong (+2, C, D) intensity. Nuclear localization of heparanase is shown in (E). Specimens that were similarly stained with pre-immune serum, or applying the above procedure but lacking the primary antibody, yielded no detectable staining (F). Original magnification: (A, C) 100×; (B, D–F) 400×.
