Figure 2. Concentration of IgG and albumin in tissue fluids and plasma.

Figure 2

Concentration in tumour and back skin interstitial fluid and plasma of IgG (A) and albumin (B) in tumour and back skin as determined by HPLC. The concentration of IgG as well as albumin was significantly higher in tumour than in back skin but significantly lower than in plasma. The significantly higher concentration of IgG and albumin in tumour compared to back skin suggest less selective capillaries and/or less efficient lymph drainage in the former organ. Error bars: 1 s.e.m.*P < 0.05 when compared to plasma and †P < 0.01 when compared to back skin using ANOVA.
