Expression of surface markers on cells deriving from ascites and OSA tissues of patients, and ascites of endometriosis patient. Flow cytometric analysis of surface marker expression by the mesenchymal-like (n = 8) or epithelial-like cells (n = 3) (cultured in medium B) deriving from the ascites of patients with ovarian adenocarcinoma (HOCAC; stage IIIc) and cells (cultured in medium B) (HOCTC) deriving from cancer tissues of patients with ovarian adenocarcinoma (stage IIIc, n = 3); and cells deriving from benign ascites of patients with endometriosis (HBAC). *Denotes a significant difference (P < 0.05) compared with HOTC samples analyzed by Student's t-test.
