The level of ASPH expression was determined by immunohistochemical staining (IHS) in human pancreatic ductular adenocarcinomas (PDACs) (n=104), pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (n=7), as well as acute or chronic pancreatitis (n=12), compared to adjacent normal pancreas (n=12), and normal intestine (n=12) as shown in Fig. 1. The gene discussed is ASPH; the disease is chronic pancreatitis.
