Figure Lengend Snippet: UMAP plots of HCC ( a ) and iCCA ( d ) tumours derived from the single-cell RNA-seq datasets GSE166635 (HCC) and GSE138709 (iCCA), with major cell populations annotated (macrophages, T cells, and malignant cells). Feature plots showing CD44 expression levels across specific cell populations in HCC ( b ) and iCCA ( e ) samples (blue = high expression, grey = low expression). UMAP clustering of normal tissues (blue) versus tumour cells (orange) in an HCC sample ( c ) and an iCCA sample ( f ).
Article Snippet: After blocking with 10% normal goat or rabbit serum containing 3% BSA in TBST, sections were incubated overnight at 4 °C with three sets of primary antibodies for co-staining: CD44 (#37259, Cell Signaling, 1:200) together with FOXP3 (#14-4771-80, ThermoFisher, 1:200), CD44 (IM7, #14-0441-82, ThermoFisher, 1:400) together with F4/80 (#70076, Cell Signaling, 1:200) and CD44 (#37259, Cell Signaling, 1:200) together with CD206 (#PA5-46994, ThermoFisher, 1:200).
