  1. * indicates significant difference. Standard deviation (S.D.). Following densitometric measurements, the numbers were transformed to a 0 to 10 scale for clarity of presentation and comparison. Optical density values fall along a range of 0 representing minimal staining intensity (no staining) and 10 representing extremely dense staining (black).
