Lipocalins expression. A to H: Relative expression of the different lipocalins studied: APOD (apolipoprotein D), PTGDS (prostaglandin D2 synthase), UCAL-P19 (uterocalin), LCN5 (lipocalin 5), LCN6 (lipocalin 6), LCN8 (lipocalin 8), UNQ2541 (uncharacterized lipocalin UNQ2541/PRO6093 precursor),LCN2 (lipocalin 2). On the top of each graphic the image of agarose gel used for amplicon quantifications is shown. In black, microarray values (means of the data from the 4 boars studied) and in grey RT-PCR values. T: Testis; VE: Vas efferens; 0 to 8/9: nine epididymal zones; VD: Vas deferens. Values represent the percent of total intensity measured in the 12 samples studied (see materials and methods).
