Figure 2. The expression of CSCs markers in tumorsphere cells and adherent cells.

Figure 2

(A) Immunofluorescence (left panel) and western blotting (right panel) analysis of CD44 (green color) on mechanically dissociated tumorsphere cells and adherent cells. Nuclei were counterstained by DAPI (blue color). TCs = tumorsphere cells, ACs =  adherent cells. Bars = 100µm. (B) The expression of CD24 and CD133 in tumorsphere cells and adherent cells by western blotting, β-actin was provided as a control. (C) The tumorspheres formation capacity of HGC-27 CD44(+) cells and CD44(−) cells. * = P<0.05. Bars = 1000µm.
