Figure 6.
Semi-quantitative analysis of staining patterns in 31 specimens suggests a correlation between AP-2α and APP expression at the immunohistochemical level. Staining intensity was categorized as absent, weak, moderate or strong and listed on the x-axis. The total numbers of APP and AP-2 samples in each category were compared graphically. Staining intensity for APP and AP-2 demonstrated a positive correlation which was further substantiated with the RNA and western blot results performed on the same tissue samples.
