Prevalence of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Stem Cells Correlates with Recurrence in Early-Stage Ovarian Cancer
Figure 3
Expression of CD44 and CK18 in multiple clones of ovarian cancer cells. (a)-(b). CD44+ cells also express CK18 as determined by flow cytometry (a) and western blot analysis (b). Flow cytometer is representative of the eight evaluated clones. EOC stem cells, determined by either CD44 (c and d) or Ck18 (e and f) expression, are found in clusters surrounded by CD44− or Ck18− negative cancer cells.
