Figure 3
Time-dependent effect of AZC on mRNA expression of Foxp3, TGF-β, IL-10, and IL-35 in rat spleen (a) and thymus (b). The mRNA expression was determined by RT-PCR, the mRNA level of GPDH was used as an internal control, and gene-specific mRNA expression was normalized against GPDH expression. Results are shown as means ± SD. ▲p<0.05 compared to the control group.
