From: Epithelial to mesenchymal transition as a biomarker in renal fibrosis: are we ready for the bedside?

Figure 1

Detection of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) by β-catenin and vimentin immunostaining, and definition of the subsequent prognostic EMT score. Expression of the EMT markers β-catenin and vimentin in renal allograft biopsies at implantation (no EMT) and 3 months after implantation (EMT). Note that the normal basal linear expression of β-catenin became irregular and extended to the cytoplasm, and that vimentin was expressed de novo in the EMT-positive tubules.
