KCC3 protein expression in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). (a) Immunohistochemical staining of noncancerous esophageal epithelia with the KCC3 antibody. Magnification: ×200. (b) Immunohistochemical staining of primary human ESCC samples with the KCC3 antibody. Magnification: ×400. (c) Immunohistochemical staining of primary human ESCC samples with the low grade expression of KCC3 in the main tumor (MT). Magnification: ×200. (d) Immunohistochemical staining of primary human ESCC samples with the high grade expression of KCC3 in the main tumor (MT). Magnification: ×200. (e) Immunohistochemical staining of primary human ESCC samples with the high grade expression of KCC3 in the cancer nest (CN). Magnification: ×200. (f) Immunohistochemical staining of primary human ESCC samples that expressed KCC3 in the invasive front of the tumor. Magnification: ×40.
