Table 2. Comparison of protein expression in the acid insoluble matrix (AIM) of both C. hongkongensis and C. angulata is given. Fold changes were obtained by dividing the average mean of normalized spot intensity of triplicate gels of C. hongkongensis to C. angulata. A student’s t-test (p-value <0.05) was applied to determine whether the differentially expressed proteins had a fold change equal or greater than 1.25.
