Figure 2.

Plasma levels of DNase-1 and Endo-G nucleases. Representative Western blot analysis shows specific protein bands for DNase-1 (A) and Endo-G (B) in plasma samples. Ponceau S staining was used to normalize the densitometric value from each lane (black arrow). Densitometric analysis summary showed significantly lower DNase-1 protein (C) levels in plasma collected from cancer patients (*, P=0.0016). In contrast, Endo-G levels were not significantly different between the two groups (D). Endo-G, endonuclease-G.
