BSG and carcinoma: It was worth noting that LG EMMPRIN was weaker in the well-differentiated cell line (MKN28) than the poorly differentiated (MNK45) or undifferentiated ones (HGC-27), although there was no difference in its expression level from our statistical results of immunohistochemistry in gastric carcinoma, indicating that EMMPRIN glycosylation might be linked to carcinoma differentiation.
