Correlation of Somatostatin Receptor-2 Expression with Gallium-68-DOTA-TATE Uptake in Neuroblastoma Xenograft Models

Figure 1

mRNA expression level and Western blotting analyses of SSTR2 and NET. (a) RNA was isolated from different neuroblastoma cell lines, converted into cDNA, followed by RT-PCR with SSTR2 and NET specific primers. The GAPDH gene was used as a reference gene. (b) Protein lysates were prepared from different neuroblastoma cell lines. Protein samples were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Expression of SSTR2 and NET proteins was visualized using specific antibodies. β-Actin was used as internal loading control.
