Determination of Bcl-2 protein levels. (a) Photos of immunohistochemistry (×200). In C-PC treatment group and CD59 transfection group, there was no obvious plaque and the stain of endothelial cells was darker than that of control group. In C-PC+CD59 synergy group, brownish-yellow granules were more than other groups and distribution was uniform, and staining was the darkest. (A) Control group, (B) C-PC treatment group, (C) CD59 transfection group, and (D) C-PC+CD59 synergy group. (b) The IOD of Bcl-2. *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01 versus control group. IOD values represent the levels of protein expression. Compared with the control group, the IOD values in CD59 or C-PC treated groups were increased and the differences were significant (*𝑃<0.05). The IOD values were further enhanced in C-PC and CD59 synergy group and the differences were very significant (**𝑃<0.01).
