Expression of CD44s, CD44ν3-10, CD44ν6-10 and CD44ν3,ν8-10 in ampullary adenocarcinoma. a The expression of CD44s and its variants in ampullary adenocarcinoma and corresponding normal duodenal tissues was determined by RT-PCR. β-actin served as a positive control. The fold-change in CD44 isoform/β-actin was labeled below the band. CD44ν3-10 and CD44ν3,ν8-10 mRNA was low in patients without cancer recurrence and increased in those with cancer recurrence. Fold change of cancer/normal ratio of CD44ν6-10 was increased in those with cancer recurrence. b The cancer/normal ratio of CD44/β-actin expression was correlated with cancer recurrence
