  1. Northern blot analysis of human and mouse maspin mRNA in tissues. Human maspin cDNA was 32P-labeled to probe human tissue blots (tissue blots from Clontech, Inc., Palo Alto, CA). The mouse mMaspin cDNA was 32P-labeled to probe mouse tissue blot (used in Fig. 3.). Both results are summarized in the table. (+) indicates positive expression; (−) indicates no expression. ND, not done.
