Fig. 2: Host factor PLAC8 is overexpressed in the pancreas of COVID-19 deceased patients.
From: Host factor PLAC8 is required for pancreas infection by SARS-CoV-2
a PLAC8 expression pattern in pancreatic sections of non-infected (Control; n = 3) and infected (COVID-19; n = 3) deceased patients. Sections are stained for PLAC8 protein (red) and counterstained with Hematoxylin (blue). Rectangles mark areas of higher magnification in the bottom row. Bar, 100 µm; b Pancreatic Islets and Acini were manually identified in necropsies and blinded quantified using QuPath. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. of PLAC8 positive area relative to the total area for uninfected donors (Control; n = 2), and infected patients (COVID-19; n = 3). Statistical significance was calculated by ordinary two-tailed unmatched t-test.
