Fig. 1 Representative images of SDF-1 immunofluorescent stained tumour sections. (A) Membrane staining (score 3). (B) Intracellular staining (score 2). (C) Negative staining (score 0). SDF-1 is shown in green, DAPI in blue. Similar staining patterns and intensities were observed for CXCR4. Original image magnification: 400×.
