| Popis | Our results clearly confirmed nestin expression in PCs of MG patients. The percentage of nestin-positive PC and the median fluorescence intensity of expression ranged between patients. Prognostic/predictive significance of these differences requires an evaluation on a larger number of patients and correlation to clinical data. Based on current reports, we hypothesise that nestin could be a prospective marker of myeloma stem cells and a possible target of anti-cancer therapy. Further studies are required to confirm our hypothesis. |
