Expression of Potential Dermal Progenitor Cell Markers in the Tumour and Stroma of Skin Adnexal Malignant and Benign Tumours

Figure 1

Percentage of positive tumours for CRABP1, Nestin, and Ephrin B2. Percentage of CRABP1- and Nestin-positive tumours for invasive margin (IM) of the tumour, the inflammatory infiltrate surrounding the tumour (IIF), and the tumour-stroma interaction (TSI) site within the core of the tumour (a and b). CRABP1 and Nestin positively stained cells classified into staining for positive tumours were classified into 4 groups: 0 (no expression), 1 (0-33% of cells positive), 2 (33-66% of cells positive), and 3 (>66% of cells positive, mean with standard deviation, c and d). Ephrin B2-positive tumours in % (e) and classified staining (mean with standard deviation) (f).
