The ratio of positive cells in groups W and A compared to the corresponding controls indicated a three-fold increase in caspase-3 expression at all gestational stages, except for group W19, for which the increase was approximately seven-fold (Table 1).
Furthermore, coinfected patients have been demonstrated to have lower levels of both HBV DNA and HCV RNA than corresponding monoinfected controls, indicating that concurrent suppression of both viruses by the other virus can also occur.
The amount of hydroxyproline was significantly lower in the HBO treated tumors compared to controls, indicating a corresponding decrease in collagen content (Table 2).
* P<0.05 and ** P<0.01 versus the corresponding controls are indicated.
However, the extent of tumour development was never significantly enhanced in the AMG487-treated mice compared with the corresponding control group, indicating that the CXCR3 antagonism did not affect the local tumour growth.
GFP expression from dsRed+ animals was normalized to worm size (time-of-flight) and each sample was normalized to the mean of the corresponding control, as indicated in each figure.
In particular, the diagonal terms of the table correspond to regressions with one additional control, while the off diagonal terms contain marginal effects of regressions with combinations of controls indicated by the corresponding row and column heading.
No corresponding PCR products were detected from the negative control, indicating that the PCR products generated from cDNA, and not from genomic DNA contamination.
Statistical significance in comparison with the corresponding control values was indicated by * P < 0.05 versus control.
