Popis: The expression of α2β1 and α3β1 integrins was studied immunohistochemically in 110 resected human gastric carcinomas. Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples were serially sectioned and stained with monoclonal antibodies specifically against the α2 and α3 subunits of β1 integrins. Approximately 27% of the tumors expressed α3β1 integrin, and 20% expressed α3β1 integrin. The expression of α3β1 integrin was associated with lymph node and liver metastases (P
