From: CD133 expression is not an independent prognostic factor in stage II and III colorectal cancer but may predict the better outcome in patients with adjuvant therapy

Figure 1

Photomicrographs of CD 133 IHC expression in non-neoplastic colonic mucosa in comparison with the non-neoplastic glands of stomach and pancreas. (A) CD133 positive cells are very rarely found in normal colon crypts and (B) along the luminal border of few crypts. (X 400 hematoxylin counterstained). In contrast to the colon, (C) the non-neoplastic pyloric glands and (D) pancreatic duct or acini show a distinct and diffuse staining in the luminal border. (X 200 hematoxylin counterstained).
