Table 2.

The relationship between the levels of cationic polypeptides within individuals is shown in the matrix of Pearson’s correlation coefficients. Values closer to 0 indicate a lack of correlation and values closer to 1 indicate polypeptide levels are more highly correlated within individuals, and a negative coefficient indicates inverse correlation.
