Useful detection of CD147 (EMMPRIN) for pathological diagnosis of early hepatocellular carcinoma in needle biopsy samples

Figure 1 CD147 protein expression of HCC tissues with microwave-stimulated processing. A: 10 min of 10 mmol/L citrate buffer (pH 6.0); B: 30 min of DAKO antigen retrieval solution.

Figure 2 CD147 protein expre-ssion of non-tumor liver tissue and HCC tissue specimens. A: Non-tumor tissue specimen, very weak expression; B: Non-tumor tissue specimen, weak expression; C: HCC tissue, moderate expression; D: HCC tissue, strong expression.
