Phenotypic characteristic of SUCECs: (A) SUCECs (n = 3) were analyzed by flow cytometry and (B) IFA for the expression of mesenchymal (CD44 and CD90), haematopoietic (CD45) and epithelial cell markers (Pan-CK, CK-18 and Occludin). Solid black line: isotype control; red line: specific antibody. Mesenchymal and haematopoietic markers were not detected on SUCECs, whereas epithelial markers were strongly expressed on these cells.
