High levels of EpCAM expression could be detected in representative HCC cell line ( ̃59.90%; Huh7 cells; Figure 1Ci, as well as, Hep3B and Mahlavu cells supplementary Figure 1Eii-1Eiii respectively) and primary cells cultured from human HCC tumor biopsy ( ̃70.24%; HCC 26-1004 cells; Figure 1Cii). Here, EPCAM is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
