Histochemical Expression of Mast Cell Chymase in Chronic Periodontitis and Cyclosporine-Induced Gingival Overgrowth

Figure 2

mRNA expression of mast cell chymase in gingival samples obtained from patients with DIGO, patients with periodontitis, and normal healthy subjects (control). Total RNA was isolated, and RT-PCR was performed using gene-specific primers. β-Actin was used as the internal control for PCR. Each bar gives the mean ± SE of ten cDNA samples. versus control.
