Fig. 4. Characteristics of ALCAM+ cells isolated from human primary GCTB samples.

Fig. 4

a The proliferative rate of ALCAM+ cells isolated from clinical sapmles(cases #12, #17 and #21) was higher than that of ALCAM cells. Independent experiments were repeated three times. Data were presented as mean ± s.d. (***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05). b ALCAM cells isolated from GCTB samples (cases #22 and #30) generated fewer and smaller spheres than ALCAM+ cells after 7 days of serum deprivation and ultralow adherent cell culture. (Scale bar = 20 µm). c, d Compared with ALCAM- cells from GCTB samples(cases #45 and #49), ALCAM+ cells exhibited stronger (c) invasive and (d) migratory capacity. Ten high-power fields were selected for comparison. Data were presented as mean ± s.d. (***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05; Scale bar = 50 µm)
