Serum levels of high mobility group box chromosomal protein 1. Serum levels of high mobility group box chromosomal protein 1 were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Bars show the means. The high mobility group box chromosomal protein 1 level in the patient with actinomycosis was higher than the control and hepatocellular carcinoma groups, and the serum high mobility group box chromosomal protein 1 levels in the hepatocellular carcinoma group were significantly higher than the control group (5.2±0.7ng/mL vs. 2.1±0.9ng/mL; P<0.01). HMGB1, high mobility group box chromosomal protein 1; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma.
