Morphological observation on the tumor cells with CD133 protein and Ki-67 immunostainings in primary lesion. Note: A showed HE staining for GC tissue (×200). B showed CD133 immunostaining for NCGT (×200). C (×200) and D (×400) showed CD133 immunostaining for GC tissue. E (×200) and F (×400) showed tumor cells with CD133 positivity in the cancerous emboli in vessel-like structure. G (×200) and H (×200) showed the higher positive and the lower positive expressions of Ki-67 immunostaining (×200) respectively.
