Cell-type specificity of β-actin expression and its clinicopathological correlation in gastric adenocarcinoma

Figure 2 Histological analysis of β-actin in gastric normal and tumor tissues (n = 24). “Total IHC score” and “Average total IHC score” were calculated as described in Table 1. A: Representative pictures of β-actin immuno-staining of normal (left panel) and tumor (right panel) tissues showed β-actin expression is majorly distributed between epithelial (red arrow) and inflammatory (blue arrow) cells. The image is taken at 20 × magnification; B: “Total IHC score” of EC and IC of normal (N) and tumor (T) tissues were plotted; C: “Average total IHC score” for normal and tumor tissues were plotted. ¹Mann-Whitney test; ²Wilcoxon matched pair test. IHC: Immunohistochemistry; EC: Epithelial cells; IC: Inflammatory cells.
