NCR3 and prostate cancer: Figure 1c shows representative examples of stained tissues and figure 1d summarizes the results obtained from 9 adenocarcinoma and 8 benign prostate cancer tissues. As shown, 7/9 and 5/9 prostate adenocarcinomas were positively stained by NKp30-Ig and NKp46D2-Ig, respectively, indicating the existence of ligands for NKp30 and NKp46 on the malignant cells. The expression of these antigens encompassed 50–95% of tumor cells with different degrees of intensities and showed both intracellular and membranal distribution (Figure 1c, arrow at the top left panel points to membrane staining).
