They found that all the CRC clusters identified in 30 RCC patients, including 25 ccRCC and 5 papillary RCC, were of endothelial origin, based on their CD31 positivity and only one was of tumor origin, based on carbonic anhydrase nine (CAIX) positivity, used as a marker of RCC-derived tumor phenotype. Here, CA9 is linked to nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma.
