Figure Lengend Snippet: The relationship between CD55 and the clinical pathological features of patients The expression levels of CD55 mRNA and protein were higher in R1/R2 group ( A ), higher histological grade ( B ), Masaoka-Koga stage III/IV ( C ), adjuvant therapy ( D ) compared with the corresponding R0 group, normal thymus tissues, and stage I/II, and no-adjuvant therapy. Moreover, the expression of CD55 protein was significantly higher expressed in ≥ 60 years compared with ˂60 years ( E ). Additionally, CD55 protein expression was higher in males than that in females ( F ), whereas CD55 mRNA did not show similar results ( E, F ). Patients without MG showed higher CD55 mRNA and protein expression levels than those with MG, however, this difference was not statistically significant ( G ). There was also no statistically significant relationship between tumor diameter and CD55 expression ( H ). When CD55 protein was highly expressed, the mRNA level was also high ( I ).
