The expression of HMB45 and MITF in Mel2-positive cells was increased compared to that in Mel2-negative cells, as shown by immunofluorescence microscopy (A). The expression of HMB45 and MITF in Mel2-positive cells was increased compared to that in Mel2-negative cells, as shown by RT-PCR (B). There was almost no difference in the expression of KIT in Mel2-positive cells and Mel2-negative cells, as shown by RT-PCR (B). The expression of MITF in Mel2-positive cells was increased compared to that in Mel2-negative cells, as shown by western blot analysis (C).</p
