Fig. 3From: Antibody-based proteomics to identify an apoptosis signature for early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinomaHeat map of antigens recognized by 11 selected antibodies. Band intensities were normalized among samples and blots. Measured intensities are displayed as a heat map. a In the first screening, the intensity of 18 protein bands for 11 antibodies was up- or downregulated in HCC carcinogenesis and progression. b In the next screening, we examined the selected 11 antibodies using the 40 samples from the newly enrolled patients. c In the independent validation study, the intensity of six bands for six antibodies differed among sample groups. The quantitative data for western blotting images are presented in Additional file 3: Table S2, Additional file 4: Table S3, Additional file 5: Table S4Back to article page
