PFN1 and CFD levels in unfractionated serum samples of patients with TAA and HC subjects. A Western blot analysis of PFN1 and CFD in four individual serum samples without pre-treatment from patients with TAA and those from HC subjects. B, C The histograms indicate quantitated band intensity data of (B) PFN1 and (C) CFD in the serum samples of patients with TAA and HC subjects. HC subjects, No. 1–4; TAA patients, No. 5–8. Significant differences were observed between the TAA and HC groups. Images of entire western blots of PFN1 and CFD are shown in Additional File 8
