Expression levels of CD63 in astrocytomas
Based on the CD63 expression, the astrocytomas received a score between 0 and 3 in four categories. Distributions are shown as percentage of the total number of tumors for the respective astrocytoma subtype for: a CD63+ tumor cells, b tumor cell intensity, c CD63+ blood vessels, d CD63 blood vessel staining intensity, and e total CD63 score. Comparison of the mean scores among the different WHO grades for: f CD63+ tumor cells, g tumor cell intensity, h CD63+ blood vessels, i CD63 blood vessel intensity, and j the total CD63 score. Data are shown as mean scores + standard error of the mean (SEM). **: p < 0.01; ***: p < 0.001. Abbreviations: AA anaplastic astrocytoma; DA diffuse astrocytoma; GBM glioblastoma
