Merged (right) and single color (left) confocal microscopy images at × 60 of an untreated primary TNBC tumor stained in an alternate sequence: pan-AKT ➔ H3K9me2 ➔ HES1 (c.f. standard sequence of H3K9me2 ➔ pan-AKT ➔ HES1) demonstrating consistent cytoplasmic pan-AKT (green) and HES1 (red) staining and nuclear H3K9me2 (yellow) staining in an example QCC (white arrows). Here, AKT1 is linked to neoplasm.
