RIZ1 expression in bone marrow of CML patients. (a) Immunohistochemical analysis of matched bone marrow trephine biopsies and bone marrow aspirate clot samples from patients in chronic phase and accelerated phase or myeloid blast crisis using an anti-RIZ1 antibody. (b) RIZ1 expression in normal bone marrow and normal bone marrow staining in the absence of RIZ1 primary antibody (Negative control). (c) Immunohistochemical analysis of RIZ1 expression in unmatched patient bone marrow biopsies and clot sections from chronic phase (CP) (N = 10), accelerated phase (AP) (N = 7) and blast crisis (BC) (N = 15) using an anti-RIZ1 monoclonal antibody. Relative RIZ1 expression represents 3,3-diaminobenzidine chromagen intensity. Mean RIZ1 expression for each group is shown as a black line and errors bars represent the standard deviation.
