Thrombocytosis: A paraneoplastic syndrome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 3 Analyses of thrombopoietin from tumor tissues (T) and non-tumor liver tissues (L) in a hepatocellular carcinoma patient with thrombocytosis using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. β-actin was used as an internal standard (B). N: negative control. Results from an agarose gel electrophoresis showed a more intense density of thrombopoietin band from tumor tissues when compared with non-tumor liver tissues.
