Western blots for D2-40, CD34 protein expression. CD34 and D2-40 protein expression in normal control, Child A-LC and Child C-LC liver samples. Representative Western blots are shown. Quantitative densitometric data from multiple samples (expressed as D2-40/GAPDH, n = 5 for each group) are shown as the mean value ± SEM. D2-40 protein level is high in Child C-LC liver samples and only moderate in control and Child A-LC liver samples, but CD34 protein level is equally high in Child A-LC and Child C-LV liver samples but low in control liver samples.
