Human Breast Cancer Tissue Stained by Immunofluorescence

Caption

Human breast cancer tissue stained by immunofluorescence illustrates the interplay between secreted and surface-bound TGFβ (red) expressed by cancer cells (blue), which primes tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells to produce IL1β (green). This in turn will lead to chronic inflammation associated with breast cancer progression. Gray, nuclei.
