Figure 3

Immunostaining and confocal microscopy analysis of surface distribution of MMP9 and indicated CD44 isoforms in PC3/Sc and PC3/Si cell lines. Immunostaining was performed with antibodies to MMP9 (green) and isoforms of CD44 (s, v6, and v10; red). Distribution of both MMP9 and indicated CD44 isoforms is shown in overlay panels (a”)–(e”). Yellow color indicates colocalization of CD44s and MMP9 on the cell surface (overlay panel a”). Scale bar-50 μm. The results represent one of three experiments performed.
