Expression of claudin 5 and VE-cadherin in the peritoneum (tumor vs. control). Real-time PCR-analysis of claudin 5 and VE-cadherin in the peritoneal vessels of ovarian cancer patients. We revealed statistically significant lower values of claudin 5- and VE-cadherin-expression in the peritoneal vessels of the tumor patients as compared to the healthy control group (both p < 0.001)
