Table 2

The percentage and grading of HCMV protein in anaplastic astrocytoma.

HCMV proteins; Number = 14	Positivity; Number (%)	Grading of positive sections
		Grade 1; Number (%)	Grade 2; Number (%)	Grade 3; Number (%)	Grade 4; Number (%)
IE1-72	12 (85.71)	2 (16.67)	2 (16.67)	2 (16.67)	6 (50)
pp65	10 (71.42)	2 (20)	5 (50)	2 (20)	1 (10)
Late antigen	9 (64.28)	3 (33.33)	3 (33.33)	2 (22.22)	1 (11.11)

Percentage changes and grading in early, mid, and late antigen HCMV protein in anaplastic astrocytoma patients. The grade number and percentage (%) were calculated in a blinded fashion. The number and % of positive patients are indicated for each antigen.
