Fig. 3From: The predominant expression of cancer stem cell marker ALDH1A3 in tumor infiltrative area is associated with shorter overall survival of human glioblastomaDouble staining of ALDH1A3 with different markers in GBM sections. a-d Double staining of ALDH1A3 with GFAP. In both TC and TI, the co-expression of ALDH1A3 (green) and GFAP (red) was detected in some glial-shaped cells (arrows in a), tumor cells (arrows in b) and multi-nucleated cells (arrows in c and d). e Double staining of ALDH1A3 with CD68. ALDH1A3 immunoreactivity (green) detected in the outer layer of glomeruloid tuft (arrows in e) was negative for the macrophage marker CD68 (red, arrowheads). f Double staining revealed a coexpression (arrows) of ALDH1A3 (red) with the stem cell marker CD44 (green). a-f, original magnification × 400Back to article page
