Furthermore, CD47 expression was measured on protein (Fig. 1B) and steady-state mRNA levels (Fig. 1C) in a series of NSCLC cell lines (NCI-H1975, NCI-H520, SPCA-1, SK-MES-1, A549 and 95D) and in normal human bronchial epithelial cell line 16-HBE. Here, CD47 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
