Figure 2

Intensity of phosphorylated-Akt expression in Barrett's oesophagus. Relative intensity of phospho-Akt staining was assessed on digital images from squamous epithelium (squamous), non-dysplastic Barrett's oesophagus (Barrett's), Barrett's with high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and adenocarcinoma using Scion Image® Software. 2a shows the relative intensity of staining in the basal third of the epithelium and 2b shows the relative intensity of staining in the luminal third of the epithelium. Results expressed as mean ± SEM.
