The expression of CD44 in RMG-I and RMG-I-H cells detected by immunocytochemistry (×400). Panels 1 and 5 are negative controls; panels 2 and 6 are Lewis y antibody-untreated cells; panels 3 and 7 are Lewis y antibody-treated cells; panels 4 and 8 are cells treated by irrelevant isotype-matched control. The expression of CD44 was detected by SABC methods in RMG-I and RMG-I-H cells, and brown color degree by DAB staining indicated the expression level of CD44. It can be seen from the figure that the expression of CD44 in the RMG-I-H cells was stronger than that in RMG-I cells, which was decreased after Lewis y antibody blocking.
