Preliminary Study on the Expression and the Clinical Significance of CD133 in Peripheral Blood of Patients with Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Figure 2
Morphologic characteristics of CD133 positive cells in primary lesion by IHC staining. (a) CD133+ cells located in the wall of crypts or in the inner compositions of the crypts with GC (×100). (b) Almost all the stained CD133 proteins located in the surface of cell membranes (×200). (c) CD133+ cells located in the inner compositions of crypts stained by CD133 monoclonal antibody. (d) Consecutive sections stained by CK20 monoclonal antibody. (e) Some special CD133+ cells cytoplasm was stained and these CD133+ cells formed the crypts in tissue section (×100). (f) The size and shape of these CD133+ cells were observed in larger magnification. These crypts in tissue sample of GC liked morphologically to the normal crypts of stomach (×200).
