Intelectin-1 expression in normal tissues.

Expression scores were assigned by evaluating the intensity of intelectin-1 staining on the positive cells. The intensity of staining was defined by applying the Allred scoring as follows: 3+, strong staining; 2+, moderate staining; 1+, weak staining; –, no staining. The asterisk indicates the tissue in the digestive, urinary, respiratory, or reproductive system. IM, intestinal metaplasia.
