Fig. 3From: Dysregulated erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor A2 (EphA2) is involved in tubal pregnancy via regulating cell adhesion of the Fallopian tube epithelial cellsComparisons of EphA2 and Pho-EphA2 protein expression between the samples derived from the normal Fallopian tubes of the secretory phase (control) (n = 12) and the tubal pregnant tissues, which were further divided into the implantation group (n = 14) and the non-implantation group (n = 14). a Western blot showed positive bands of EphA2 and Pho-EphA2 in both the implantation and non-implantation groups of tubal pregnancy. b The highest EphA2 accompanied by the lowest Pho-EphA2 was detected in the implantation group, compared with that in the non-implantation group and the control group (P < 0.05). EphA2 and Pho-EphA2 protein expressions in samples of the latter two groups were similar (P > 0.05)Back to article page
