Figure

  • Fig. 1 (A) KAI1/CD82 protein was expressed on malignant melanoma by western blot analysis. (B) The score of relative KAI1/CD82 protein expression. Normal: normal skin, MM: malignant melanoma, SCC: squamous cell carcinoma, BCC: basal cell carcinoma.

  • Fig. 2 Representative immunohistochemistry staining for KAI1/CD82 protein expression in paraffin-embedded malignant melanoma (A: strongly positive immunostaining, ×200), squamous cell carcinoma (B: very weakly positive immunostaining, ×200), basal cell carcinoma (C: very weakly positive immunostaining, ×200) and normal skin (D: no immunostaining, ×100).
