Progesterone receptor (PR) is expressed in a variety
of different tissues but is found most prominently in thefemale reproductive tract. A large amount of researchhas focused on the differential expression of PR inhuman breast and uterine cancers. This antibody willhelp detect the presence of PR in tissues and cell lines. Selected References Leake R, Barnes D, Pinder S, et al.
