Additionally, the difference in the ratio of hBD-3 to hBD-2 in the OSCC site when compared to the ratio of hBD-3 to hBD-2 in the normal contralateral site was highly significant (p = 0.013, Figure 2 F) compared to the expression of lesional hBD-3 itself in tumor vs. contralateral hBD-3 (p = 0.03, Figure 2 D).
