## BACKGROUND. It has been suggested that CD44 splice variants play a role in the progression of certain epithelial cancers and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In this study, we investigated the epithelial variant/hematopoietic variant (E/H) ratio (the amount of the CD44 epithelial variant transcript relat
CD44 is a family of cell-surface adhesion molecules which exist in several isoforms arising from mRNA alternative. Malignant transformation of colonic mucosa is associated with alterations in CD44 expression, which result in up-regulation of high-molecular-weight CD44 isoforms and down-regulation of
The significance of CD44 variants in gastric carcinoma has not been fully investigated in terms of the pathological features of the carcinoma, including its association with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). In this study, a total of 104 primary gastric carcinoma tissues (EBV-associated gastric carcinomas,
