Fig. 5.

Immunohistochemical staining of tenascin‐C in skin samples of septic patients (A) and healthy controls (B) on day 4 post wounding. The basal layer of migrating epithelium has mostly no staining in septic samples, in contrast to healthy samples. Staining intensity is reported as absent (‐), mild (+), moderate (++) or strong (+++), and the percentages are shown (C). The arrow indicates the wound. The bar at the bottom of the figure is equal to 100 µm. Statistical significances between study groups are indicated by brackets and significant p‐values (p < 0.05) are marked with an asterisk.
