The Application of a Three-Step Serum Proteome Analysis for the Discovery and Identification of Novel Biomarkers of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Figure 6
Western blot analysis of clusterin in sera from HCC and LC groups. (a) Immunoedpleted sera of the 5 HCC and 5 LC SDS-PAGE cases and additional 5 HCC and 5 LC cases were separated by 10.0–12.0% SDS-PAGE and probed with anticlusterin. The expression levels are relatively higher in the HCC groups than LCs. (b) Differences in expression were analyzed by the Student’s -test. The expression levels of these proteins were upregulated significantly in HCC samples (). Rhombuses represent volumes of individual samples. Line indicates the range with the open circles indicating the mean values.
