Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 1. The Expression of SELENBP1 in Normal and Tumor Breast Tissues. Breast cancer tissue arrays were stained by immunohistochemistry using anti-human SELENBP1 antibody at 1:100 dilution. Positive stained cells are shown in dark brown color. (A) Strong positive staining of SELENBP1 in normal breast tissue under low power view (200X). (B–C) Weak positive to negative staining of SELENBP1 in breast cancer tissues under high power view (400X). (D) The Allred scoring distributions of SELENBP1 expression in normal and tumor tissue groups. Inside lines represent means and standard deviations. *p,0.05. (E) Statistical results for the difference between normal and tumor tissues as analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0063702.g001

Article Title: Design and Evaluation of Eb 4 Mab ‐7‐ mG 2a : A Dual‐Action Anti‐ EphB4 Monoclonal Antibody for Targeted Breast Cancer Therapy

doi: 10.1111/cas.70198

Figure Lengend Snippet: Prognostic significance of EphB4 expression in breast cancer and establishment of Eb 4 Mab‐7‐mG 2a . (A) Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of OS in breast cancer patients based on the expression levels of EphB family genes (EphB1, EphB2, EphB3, EphB4, and EphB6) using RNA‐seq data from KMplot. Among these genes, high expression of EphB2 and EphB4 was significantly associated with poor prognosis (log‐rank p < 0.05). Patients were then stratified into high and low expression groups using the optimal cutoff within the interquartile range. (B) Generation of a mouse IgG 2a version of the anti‐EphB4 monoclonal antibody (Eb 4 Mab‐7‐mG 2a ). The V H and V L regions of B4Mab‐7 (mouse IgG 1 ) were cloned into expression vectors containing mouse IgG 2a C H and C L regions. These vectors were transfected into BINDS‐09 cells to produce Eb 4 Mab‐7‐mG 2a . (C) Left: Expression of EphB4 and β‐Actin in CHO‐K1, CHO/EphB4, MCF‐7, and EphB4‐KO MCF‐7 cells. Right: Expression of EphB4 and GAPDH in normal human adult breast tissues, MCF10A (non‐tumorigenic mammary epithelial cells), MCF‐7, BT‐474, SK‐BR‐3, MDA‐MB‐468, and HBC5 cells.

Figure Lengend Snippet: FIG. 6. TACE expression in normal and tumor breast tissue samples. 20 g of tissue lysates were loaded and run on a 8% SDS- PAGE. Top, immunoblotting with anti-TACE pAb (1/1000) revealed two bands corresponding to the proform (120 kDa) and the active form (90 kDa) of TACE. Bottom, loading charge was controlled with an antibody directed against the p85 subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (Up- state) used at 1/1000. N, normal breast tissues from three different donors; T, ductal breast carcinoma from six different patients. Note that tumor specimens used in this study were randomly selected. *, unde- fined band observed in some tumor samples with the anti-p85 pAb.
