Connective tissue growth factor expression hints at aggressive nature of colorectal cancer

Figure 3 Connective tissue growth factor. A: The connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is upregulated in human colorectal cancer (CRC) samples. Representative Immunoblot showing expression of tumors and their adjacent normals in CRC. Lane N: Normal; Lane T: Tumor. β-actin is used as a loading control. About 40 μg protein loaded on 12% sodium dodecyl sulphate-Gel transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membrane, anti-β actin primary Ab (1:1000), anti-CTGF primary Ab (1:500); B: Normalized densitometric values. The experiments were performed in triplicates; mean and standard error was calculated. CTGF: Connective tissue growth factor.
