Calretinin levels in blood samples. Individual values for calretinin in healthy subjects (n = 97), persons with previous asbestos exposure (n = 35), and patients with malignant mesothelioma (n = 42). Open circles represent serum, filled circles plasma samples. Bars indicate median marker levels. Differences between all groups were significant (p < 0.0001 for healthy vs. MM, p = 0.0036 for healthy vs. asbestos-exposed, p < 0.0001 for asbestos-exposed vs. MM).
