From: Expression of ADAMs and Their Inhibitors in Sputum from Patients with Asthma
Statistical analysis of mRNA levels in sputum cells from patients with asthma measured by semiquantitative RT-PCR. Results are expressed in arbitrary units (AU) corresponding to density obtained for the band corresponding to measured mRNA further divided by the density of the band corresponding to 28S rRNA in the same sample (A–E). Representative examples of mRNA transcripts for different members of ADAM proteases and different inhibitors. Semiquantitative RT-PCR was performed on 10 ng total RNA from sputum cells (F).
