Fig. 1 Photomicrograph of normal bronchial epithelium with underlying non–small cell lung carcinoma (adenocarcinoma). Note strong (red) immunostaining with αv monoclonal antibody at both the progenitor bronchial epithelium and the tumor cells. (NBE = normal bronchial epithelium; S = submucosal tissue; TC = tumor cells.) (×100 before 40% reduction.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 1997 64, 949-953DOI: (10.1016/S0003-4975(97)00851-5)
