Figure 3From: Genome wide analysis of the bovine mucin genes and their gastrointestinal transcription profileTranscription profile of bovine mucins in the gastrointestinal tract. Transcription profile of membrane associated and secreted mucins in the gastro-intestinal tract. PCR on cDNA samples was used to characterize the transcription profile of membrane associated and secreted mucins in twelve regions of the gastro-intestinal tract. Squares represent PCR products of individual animals (n = 3 in oesophagus; n = 4 in all other tissues). Presence and intensity of gel bands were analyzed using ImageQuant™350 and are reported as absent (green), present weak (yellow), and present strong (red). Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAPDH) and β-actin (ACTB) were used to control the quality of the synthesized cDNA in all the samples.Back to article page
