Surprised to discover that Thermo Fisher appears to show a fake western blot for the validation of one of their p53 antibodies. I've added a diagram to show the very similar bands. This does not appear to be one of the "published figures" but their own internal data.

PDPN marks lymphatic vessels & CAFs in the TME, but tumor-cell PDPN can also be a biomarker of a plastic lymphatic metastasis–permissive state in TNBC🔬(key fatures of the PDPN state mouse–human conserved). Hypoxia → PDPN⁺ tumour cells → CCR7⁺ lymphatic spread. BJC: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
