Figure 6From: Plasma CCN2/connective tissue growth factor is associated with right ventricular dysfunction in patients with neuroendocrine tumors Immunostaining of neuroendocrine tumors. Representative photomicrographs demonstrating anti-connective tissue growth factor (CCN2) (panel A) immunostaining of gut carcinoid tumor tissue. CCN2 immunoreactivity was seen in cells corresponding to chromogranin A-positive tumor cells and gut smooth muscle (denoted by arrows in panels B and C, respectively). All sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. Magnification ×50.Back to article page
