High Expression of Ecto-Nucleotidases CD39 and CD73 in Human Endometrial Tumors

Figure 1

(a) Immunolocalization of NTPDase1/CD39 in nontumoral human endometria ((A), (C)) and in endometrioid (B) and serous (D) adenocarcinomas. CD39 was immunodetected in the stroma of all samples (asterisks). The expression of CD39 is remarkably higher in tumors when compared with nontumoral endometria. Scale bars = 100 μm. (b) Label intensity score of CD39 in the stroma of nontumoral human endometrium compared to endometrioid (left plot) and serous (right plot) adenocarcinoma samples. Note that both types of tumors have a higher label score than their corresponding nontumoral endometria.
