Distribution of SSEA-1- positive cells in normal and neoplastic thyroid tissues.

Tumor Type	Total No. (158)	Positive No. (%)
NT	10	0% (0/10)
HT	11	0% (0/11)
NG	10	0% (0/10)
FA	32	0% (0/32)
FCA	28	32.1% (9/28)
PTC	28	60.7% (17/28)
FV	29	20.6% (6/29)
ATC	10	80% (8/10)

NT-Normal thyroid; HT-Hashimoto's thyroiditis; NG-Nodular goiter; FA-Follicular adenoma; FCA-Follicular carcinoma; PTC-Papillary thyroid carcinoma; FVPTC-Follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma; ATC-Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma.

Staining was rare or focal in most tumors except for two ATCs and one PTC which showed diffuse staining. The percentage of cells positive for SSEA-1 was enumerated as indicated in the Material and Methods.
