Although the role of CD49d in facilitating migration of T cells to colorectal tumours has not, to our knowledge, been elucidated, expression of this homing receptor has been linked with recruitment of Tregs to inflamed tissues and also with T cell infiltration of tumours in patients with metastatic melanoma, following administration of low-dose interleukin-12.
To elucidate expression patterns of honeybee neurexin I and the neuroligins in the developing brain, quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed from whole larvae RNA, pupal brain RNA and adult brain RNA of newly emerged, 3 day, 7 day and forager bees.
Oligonucleotide microarrays and Real-Time PCR were utilized to elucidate expression patterns of various genes in activated NK cells.
Primary murine hepatocytes were stimulated with TGF- β1 for 24 h and a microarray analysis was performed to elucidate expression changes of genes related to apoptosis.
RT-PCR was also performed to elucidate the expression of c-fms from irradiated rat osteoclast precursor cells.
These studies were performed to elucidate the expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the uterus, cervix, and placenta in pregnancy and across gestation.
The present study was designed to elucidate the expression of PPAR and RXR isoforms and FA transporting proteins (FABPpm and FAT/CD36) in the rat and human GI tracts using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunoblotting, and immunohistochemical staining.
To elucidate the expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in synovial tissue taken from the human temporomandibular joint (TMJ) with internal derangement, and discuss the relationship between CGRP and joint pain.
These studies were designed specifically to i) validate the classical model of fracture revascularization of a displaced/stabilized fracture, ii) assess the association between intramedullary and periosteal angiogenesis and iii) elucidate the expression of VEGF/VEGF-R in relation to the classical model.
To elucidate whether expression of Olig2 or related Bhlh factors [22], [23] correlated with Raldh1 expression in the pancreas we investigated expression of Olig1-3, and Bhlhb2-5 in e13.5 and e15.5 pancreas by qRT-PCR.
