Characterization of Cardiac-Resident Progenitor Cells Expressing High Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Activity

Figure 5

Real time RT-PCR analysis of gene transcripts of selected ALDH isoforms (a). FAC sorting of freshly isolated ALDH^dim (R1), ALDH^br (R2), and ALDH^very-br (R3) atrial cells from 8-week-old mice (b). RT-PCR analysis of ALDH1A1, ALDH1A2, ALDH1A3, and ALDH2 gene transcripts (data are 2^−ΔCt values using GUSB as a reference gene). ND: not detectable.
