Importantly, all carryover control samples and WBC samples were negative for epithelial markers, indicating high purity of the samples and specificity of the applied procedures.
The strongest prognostic serum biomarker in advanced metastatic melanoma is lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), an unspecific marker indicating high tumour load in a variety of tumour entities, including melanoma.
Comparing the results obtained with the three DNA markers, AFLP indicated higher efficiency for estimating the levels of genetic diversity and proved to be reliable for fingerprinting, mapping and diversity studies in Pongamia in view of their suitability for energy production purposes.
Mann Whitney analysis of traditional markers indicated that high radiographic progressors had significantly elevated measures of ESR, CRP, SHS and clinician's global assessment (CGA) at baseline compared with low progressors (Table 1).
Genes for mesenchymal markers such as vimentin and fibronectin indicated higher expression in Snail and SIP1 transfectants compared with control cells.
Our results show extremely limited genetic variation across eight microsatellite marker loci, indicating higher levels of inbreeding than that predicted by observed sex ratios.
CD34+/EpCAM− cells showed expression of squamous epithelial markers, but also very high levels of expression of mesenchymal and immune-related markers, indicating a higher stromal content (see online supplementary figure S3C).
The observed relations between EEG changes and inflammatory markers indicate a higher state of inflammation-induced alertness.
The DArT markers accounted for approximately 50% of the framework markers used in the initial construction of each linkage group, with a high proportion of the DArT markers acting as delegates (Table 3; see M&M for explanations of framework, delegate and attached markers) indicating a higher level of redundancy compared to the other marker types.
The analysis of Y chromosome markers indicates a high frequency of haplogroup M95 (O2a) in Austroasiatic populations including the Munda (Chaubey et al. 2011; Kumar et al. 2007; Sengupta et al. 2006; Thangaraj et al. 2003).
