Figure 1From: Increased expression of CD133 and reduced dystroglycan expression are strong predictors of poor outcome in colon cancer patientsExamples of CD133 immunohistochemical staining in human colon samples. (A and B) Normal colonic mucosa. Note the rare (→) positivity for CD133 (A, × 200 and B, × 400). (C) A early dysplastic lesion of colon tumorigenesis showing a marked positive immunostaining for CD133 (× 200). (D) Example of a moderately differentiated NAS adenocarcinoma displaying a diffuse staining for CD133 (× 200). (E and F) Examples of mucinous poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas displaying a strong and diffuse cytoplasmic staining for CD133 with a clear immuno-negativity of nuclei (× 200 and × 550).Back to article page
