Fascin expression is stronger and more widespread in Crohn's colitis compared with Ulcerative colitis. A graphical summary of the immunohistochemical study of fascin expression in IBD. Samples were scored high or low for the proportion of epithelium staining positive (low = <20%; high = >20%), and the intensity of the epithelial fascin immunoreactivity. The graphs illustrate a significant increase in both the proportion (Ttest p = 0.0017) and intensity (Ttest p = 0.0013) of fascin immunoreactivity in Crohn's compared with ulcerative colitis samples.
