Differences in E-Cadherin and Syndecan-1 Expression in Different Types of Ameloblastomas

Figure 3

Ameloblastomas in which the membrane expression of E-cadherin and syndecan-1 were evaluated. (a) Membrane expression of E-cadherin in a luminal/intraluminal ameloblastoma. (b) Membrane intensity expression of epithelial syndecan-1 in an intraluminal/luminal ameloblastoma. (c) Membrane intensity expression of E-cadherin in a unicystic ameloblastoma with mural invasion. (d) Membrane intensity expression of epithelial syndecan-1 in a unicystic ameloblastoma with mural invasion. (e) Membrane intensity expression of E-cadherin in a solid/multicystic ameloblastoma. (f) Membrane intensity expression of epithelial syndecan-1 in a solid/multicystic ameloblastoma. The intensity of stromal expression was considered a false-positive.
