Fig. 2From: Downregulation of CD47 and CD200 in patients with focal cortical dysplasia type IIb and tuberous sclerosis complexProtein expression of CD47, SIRP-α, CD200, and CD200R in control, FCD IIb, and TSC specimens. a, c Representative immunoblot of CD47, CD200 and their receptors in control, FCDIIb and TSC samples. Expression of GAPDH (as reference protein) is shown in the same protein extracts. Densitometric analysis of western blot showed that CD47 (b), SIRP-α (b), and CD200 (d) protein levels were significantly decreased in FCD IIb and TSC compared with the control specimens, while CD200R (d) protein level was not significantly changed. There were no significant differences in CD47, SIRP-α, CD200, and CD200R between FCD IIb and TSC specimens. The bar charts represent mean ± SD, *P < 0.05, FCD IIb, TSC versus controls, Kruskal–Wallis test and Bonferroni correctionBack to article page
