  1. A total amount of 200 DAP-I positive cells were counted from four randomly microscopic fields on 200x magnification/slide (n=3 slides). At the same microscopic fields using appropriated filters, double-positivity cells for CK-7 and, HLA-G1, alpha1-integrin or alpha5 integrin was also counted. The values were expressed as a percentage of the total DAP-I positive cells (According to Pollheimer et al., [26]).
