From: Altered PCA3 and TMPRSS2-ERG expression in histologically benign regions of cancerous prostates: a systematic, quantitative mRNA analysis in five prostates

Fig. 3

Location of detected TMPRSS2-ERG mRNA expression and ERG protein expression in relation to carcinoma areas. Morphologically determined carcinoma areas are marked with C in the five prostates. Dark blue boxes denote samples with quantifiable TMPRSS2-ERG III mRNA expression, and light blue boxes represent samples with detectable but not quantifiable TMPRSS2-ERG III mRNA expression. Red boxes denote samples with quantifiable TMPRSS2-ERG VI mRNA expression and light orange boxes represent detectable but not quantifiable TMPRSS2-ERG VI mRNA expression. Yellow boxes denote ERG protein expression. TMPRSS2-ERG mRNAs were found in prostates B, C, and E and ERG protein expression only in prostate C. None of the samples showed simultaneous expression of both TMPRSS2-ERG mRNA variants
