Fig 1: Validating the reliability of the sequencing data (n = 3 per group). Representative protein levels of TAP binding protein (TAPBP), toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D), jagunal homolog 1 (JAGN1), tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 5 (CD40), anti- receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase C (CD45), anti- lysosomal associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1), HLA (RLA) class II histocompatibility antigen DR alpha chain (HLA-DRA1), and fibrinogen like 1 (FGL1) were detected in the PVS tissues by western blotting. Data were expressed as mean ± SD. Statistical analysis was performed using an unpaired Student’s t-test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, vs. control group.
