Expression of C3, EMP1 astrocyte activation genes assessed by qPCR on obstructed and non-obstructed shunts. A Comparing the expression of the A2-specific gene EMP1 and the A1-specific gene C3 to the housekeeper gene hRPLP0 in every single patient for obstructed and non-obstructed shunts. Statistical analysis for fold changes was carried out using two-way ANOVA; *p < 0.05. B Representative images for obstructed and non-obstructed shunts collected from patients. Obstructed and non-obstructed shunts were characterized based on the degree of actual tissue blockage on the shunt surface instead of clinical diagnose
