Figure 5

RT-PCR profiles of 6 novel gene sequences in normal and regenerating intestines. The values were normalized against NADH. This set of genes was mainly differentially expressed in the first week of regeneration, except by unknown-G that keeps down-regulated at 14dpe. Three of the four up-regulated genes showed the peak of expression at 3dpe and decrease the expression until 14dpe. Only unknown 5242-1 showed the peak at 7dpe but even at 3dpe the up-regulation was highly significant when compared with normal tissues. Values represent the mean ± S.E.M. of 7 samples per stage. Paired t-test for mean comparison was used. Significance levels were: *:p < 0.05, and **: p < 0.01. Images in the base of the bar are RT-PCR pictures
