Summary of the presence or absence of the protein target within the tissue sections reported in Figs 6–8. Moderate to high presence of the protein is denoted with ++, low levels are denoted by + , and the absence of the protein is marked by −. Any proteins not specifically reported in the results are designated “not reported”.
