4. Fig. 3
Picture II shows strong (+++) ets-1 expression of a stage II teratoma component. In contrast, a stage I seminoma component with only weak (+) expression for ets-1 (picture I). ((−) = no expression, (+) = weak expression, (++) = medium expression, (+++) = strong expression).

Microvessel density determined by CD105 was significantly higher in stage II compared to stage I NSGCT (p=0.007).

6. Fig. 5
In contrast to microvessel density determined by CD105 (brown vessel staining) in picture IV (100×), picture III shows the identical spot (100×) of a stage I embryonal carcinoma with higher microvessel density if the CD34 marker (red vessel staining) was used what might be due to false positive staining with this unspecific pan-endothelial marker.

Distribution of median microvessel density determined by CD105 in histological subtypes of stage I and stage II NSGCT (Ter: teratoma; EC: embryonal carcinoma; YS: yolksac tumor; Sem: seminoma).

8. Fig. 7
Picture VI shows a stage II embryonal carcinoma with high microvessel density compared to only sparse microvessel density in a stage I embryonal carcinoma (picture V). Identical circumstances are given in pictures VII and VIII for a stage I and a stage II teratoma, respectively (100×).
