Figure 5

Relative abundance of UT protein in various tissues of Rana sylvatica (Rsy), R. pipiens (Rp), and R. septentrionalis (Rse) determined by immunoblotting. Tissue samples (30 μg protein) were probed with an antibody designed against the ranid UT; relative abundance of UT protein, standardized to total protein, was determined by densitometry. Intensity values are means ± SEM ( ). Different letters indicate means that were statistically distinguishable ( ).
