Progesterone Receptor (PR) [16]

Progesterone Receptor antibody (PR) content of breast cancer tissue is an important parameter in the prediction of prognosis and response to endocrine therapy. PR [16] is directed against the human progesterone receptor molecule. A prokaryotic recombinant protein, corresponding to the N-terminal region of the A-form of human progesterone receptor, was used as the immunogen. Antibody characterization studies demonstrated that PR [16] reacts with both A- and B- forms of human progesterone receptor in Western Blotting procedures.
