As shown in Additional file 2, and additional file 3, no apparent associations were revealed in the methylation profile of each of these four genes with the majority of the clinical-pathological parameters including age, geographic origin, level of AFP in serum, size of tumors as well as whether metastasis accompanied the primary lesion.
We also assessed the hydrodynamic particle size and ζ-potential in saline and saline plus 5% serum, yielding sizes of 101 and 112 nm, respectively.
The detection of a broad range of endostatin-like fragments in tissue and serum with sizes ranging from 20 to 38 kDa indicates that collagen XVIII is sensitive to proteolytic degradation at a number of sites.
To get information on this point, several authors performed UV-visible spectroscopy and plasmon resonance generally confirms that, in the presence of fetal calf serum (FCS), size increases are the result of protein adsorption: PR shifts due to a change of refractive index.
Serum sample size determination using previously reported methods [ 13] was based on the sensitivity of 0.89 [ 7] of refractometers for assessing passive transfer status in serum of calves.
It was shown that the apparent bovine serum albumin size increased with increasing concentration of dendrimers, as a result of the complex formation with the dendrimers.
More recently, Cbx4 expression was reported to be upregulated in cancer tissues and high Cbx4 expression was correlated with α-fetoprotein (AFP) level in serum, tumor size, pathologic differentiation, and TNM (tumor, node, metastasis) stages based on the analysis of 246 cases of HCC specimens.
Mass spectrometry was used to search for FNDC5 or irisin signatures in human serum at different sizes after SDS-PAGE.
Meanwhile, tumor size, serum AFP, TNM stage, tumor number and vein invasion were all independent prognostic factors for OS; while tumor size, HBsAg positive, TNM stage, tumor number, vein invasion and peritumoral ZBTB20 expression were independent prognostic factors for DFS.
Female offspring showed a dose-dependent decrease in body weight, liver, muscle and fat pad weights, adipocyte size, serum lipids, serum leptin and adiponectin.
