- Fig. 1.
Intensive staining of microvessels by anti-CD34 immunostaining (brownish staining) in a tumor section (A).Twist was highly expressed in the same patient(B).Staining of VEGF was also strong in the same patient(C). Photos were taken under 200⨯ magnifications.
- Fig. 2.
Positive correlation between Twist and VEGF expression scorings in HCC tissue samples was observed by using the Spearman rank correlation coefficient.
