Immunohistochemistry of OSE gene products. Immunohistochemistry was performed on fresh frozen paraffin embedded OSE and CEPI tissue samples. Staining with primary antibodies against (A) secreted frizzled-related protein 1 (SFRP1), (B) aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family, member A2 (ALDH1A2), and (C and D) lim homeobox 9 (LXH9) indicated strong protein expression in OSE (labeled arrow) and lower or absent protein expression in CEPI (labeled arrow), consistent with mRNA expression values shown in Additional file 5. Each image is a typical representative from 10 normal and 10 cancer slides. The slides chosen for display contain both CEPI and normal adjacent OSE from the same tissue sample.
