Correlation analysis of cathelicidin and S100A12 with somatic cell count. The abundance of cathelicidin and S100A12, as determined by densitometry of western blots of the mastitic milk samples, was plotted against the somatic cell count. The correlation coefficient (r) of each protein with SCC was determined from the plot using the statistical function in Excel. The trendline for both proteins overlie one another and are depicted as a dashed line.
