From: Serum fibronectin distinguishes the early stages of hepatocellular carcinoma
Western blot results of AFP and FN1. The difference in (A) AFP and (B) FN1 levels between the 3 groups (LC, HCC, and Recovery) is shown in the scatter plot. In addition, expression levels difference between HCC and Recovery subjects are shown in the paired plot. All individual data were normalized to that of the pooled serum sample. The middle red line is the mean. AFP and FN1 levels in HCC patient samples were higher than in LC patients. When HCC patients recovered from the cancer, these 2 proteins decreased again. Beta-actin was used as a loading control. Images of uncropped western blots can be found in Supplementary Fig. S4.
