The DAF and MCP expression levels and C3b deposition in cancer tissue. A: Relative DAF expression levels were shown between human cervical cancer tissues (T) and surrounding non-neoplastic tissues (N). The expression of DAF mRNA and protein was measured by Real-time PCR and Western blot respectively, The DAF gene in human cervical cancer tissue was overexpressed. Results shown are the mean ± SD of three independent transfections (n = 3), each conducted in triplicate. B: Relative MCP expression levels were shown between human cervical cancer tissues (T) and surrounding non-neoplastic tissues (N). The expression of MCP mRNA and protein was measured by Real-time PCR and Western blot respectively, The MCP gene in human cervical cancer tissue was overexpressed. Results shown are the mean ± SD of three independent transfections (n = 3), each conducted in triplicate. C: Deposition of opsonizing C3 split products were shown between human cervical cancer tissues and surrounding non-neoplastic tissues (measured as common C3b moiety). Data are presented as means ± SD of two independent experiments. Student's t-test: N versus T. **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05, respectively.
