Snail Protein Expression as a Hallmark of Gastric Carcinoma in Biopsy Samples

Figure 1

Representative pictures for immunohistochemistry of Snail (A), E-cadherin (B), and vimentin (C) in biopsy samples from gastritis, adenomas, and adenocarcinomas. Sections were stained with antibodies against Snail (A), E-cadherin (B), and vimentin (C). Consecutive sections were used from patients with gastritis (a), adenoma (b), well differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma (c), moderately differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma (d), poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (e), and signet-ring cell carcinoma (f). Scale bar: 100 μm.
