Secretome Identifies Tenascin-X as a Potent Marker of Ovarian Cancer

Figure 2

Tenascin-X serum levels in healthy, benign, and cancerous ovarian patients. (a) Tenascin-X levels were determined by ELISA assay following the manufacturer’s instructions. values < 0.05 were considered to be significant. (b) Representative western blot analysis of circulating tenascin-X and Ponceau S staining. M: molecular weight markers; B: benign; C: control; EOC: epithelial ovarian cancer. (c) Bands of western blot were scanned and quantified by the Kodak 1D image analysis software. The quantification was normalized to protein levels determined by Ponceau S staining. AU: arbitrary unit.
