(A) The image of the serum microarrays, which included a total of 60 serum samples ranging from HC (n = 20) and patients with cHB (n = 20) and ACHBLF (n = 20). (B) Box plot analysis of the original data obtained from the serum microarrays. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals for the means. The statistical significance of the differences between HC, cHB, and ACHBLF was indicated by the p-value. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001). (C) SDS-PAGE analysis. (D) The binding pattern of glycoproteins from serum samples of HC, cHB and ACHBLF were analyzed by using 5 lectins (UEA-I, GSL-II, PHA-E + L, WFA, and AAL).
