RT-PCR analysis of AQP6 splice variants in the mouse inner ear. Representative RT-PCR with specific primers designed to amplify 727 bp and 364 bp fragments for mAQP6a and mAQP6b, respectively, [14]. Reverse transcription was performed in the presence (RT+) or absence (RT-) of reverse transcriptase enzyme. Similar results were obtained from at least four different mouse RNA extracts.
