Statistical analysis of protein levels of MTF-1 in human breast cancer patients

	Mean (±SEM; N = 71)
Tumor tissue	175.8 (±6.76)
Normal surrounding tissue	123.5 (±5.54)
p-value	<0.0001

Immunostained sections from the 71 clinical human breast tumor specimens were evaluated. MTF-1 protein content was semi quantitatively measured in both the breast tumors and the normal surrounding tissue of each tumor, and a paired t-test was used to test for statistically significant differences. The data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean.
