Figure 1. Typical immunophenotype of E-cadherin-positive MM cells (original magnification ×400).

(A) BM biopsy with MM cell infiltrate. Hematoxylin and eosin stain. Consecutive sections of BM biopsies were stained with antibodies against (B) CD138 and (C) E-cadherin. Note that E-cadherin was clearly stained in the membrane of MM cells. MM, multiple myeloma; BM, bone marrow.
