Without labouring the point, a quick look at the billions of dollars that have been poured into Nigeria, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, and Sudan (to name just a few examples on the continent) suggests that business and investment thrives in countries that are riddled with corruption and display extremely weak levels of governance.
Of the primary IDCs, 41 (82%) of 50 expressed both hPTTG1 and CXCR2 at high levels, and only one specimen displayed weak staining of both hPTTG1 and CXCR2.
However, the majority of these lines displayed weak ratios of fluorescent cells to non-fluorescent cells.
Among 60 samples, 60% showed strong expression of RRM2, whereas 40% displayed weak expression of RRM2.
Of the nine specimens that weakly expressed both hPTTG1 and CXCR2 (hPTTG1+/0+/0+; CXCR2, 1+/0+), seven also displayed weak staining of p21.
The results demonstrated that both control and Pou3f1-overexpressing ESCs generated similar numbers of homogeneous compact monolayer EpiSC-like colonies that displayed weak alkaline phosphatase activity (AKP) and similar levels of Oct4 expression.
A minor proportion of the selected terminals from MGL−/− sections displayed weak fluorescence signal (six out of 323 boutons; 2 ± 1%), which illustrates the very low level of background labeling.
Other cancer types displayed a weaker level of CA IX staining (e.g., NCI-H460 human non-small cell lung carcinoma), whereas MCF-7 breast tumours and Ramos lymphomas were essentially negative (data not shown).
In contrast, carcinomas of the tongue were different since they displayed a more heterogeneous repartition with 37.5% of samples expressing no or weak levels of K8.
Out of these, only two grade 2 tumours displayed weak staining, whereas six displayed moderate staining and the rest (n=14) displayed high extent of staining.
